No matter how hard we try, sometimes things are just meant to be. This goes well for the track and field star Jacious Sears. How, you may ask. Well, as a child, she started gymnastics, but little did she know, she was meant for track and field. Her journey on track started in the sixth grade. Sears said in an interview with ‘Track and Field News,’ “I loved track & field. I would always race the boys in PE.” And then she never looked back.Later in 9th grade, she went more seriously and started working with Derek Walker and his Fast Lane Track Club. And Tada, now we have a most talented track athlete—Jacious Sears. With her dedication and resilience, Sears won the Florida 4A title, New Balance, in a PR of 11.41 and went undefeated by preps in the 100. Sears won all of these accolades by the time she graduated from Palm Beach Gardens High. Amazing, isn’t it?While talking about her coach, Sears once said, “Once I started training with him, my whole everything got serious for track & field. He was like a complete shift—the amount of time I put into track, the amount of determination that I had for track, and the amount of work—hard work. After I started training with him, that’s when the goals started coming.” There is no doubt that his coach played a very vital role in keeping Sears on track.

Sears once said, “She came to America when she was 21 but she didn’t have the same opportunities, so she couldn’t keep running track & field.“ And things turned out tougher with time. How, you may ask.Sears’ mother is a single parent, and she took care of her and her sister all by herself. After the divorce, her mother must have faced a lot of difficulties, and she surpassed all. Sears stated, “I want to make her feel that the hard work she put into us is paying off.“ This shows her gratitude toward her mother and a source of motivation behind her hard work.Who is Jacious Sears’ father?Sears sees her coach, Derek Walker, as a key father figure in her life, which is the most important thing for her.
