Athlete of the Issue: Jordan Summers ’25

Running clean routes on the gridiron and exploding past competitors on the track, three-sport Varsity athlete Jordan Summers ’25 has completed an illustrious athletic career at Belmont Hill. Jordan captained both the Belmont Hill Varsity Football and Track teams this year. He is “really looking forward” to playing Division III football at Amherst College in the fall.

Jordan is no stranger to working hard and seeing results. He started track in his sophomore year and has contributed to two ISL championships (2023 and 2025). Jordan has also been on the ISL-winning and NEPSAC Bowl Champion football teams. His leadership and sportsmanship earned him the Henry B. Sawyer Sportsmanship Award. Jordan was also named all-ISL and all-NEPSAC 1st team for his performance in the fall. While Jordan’s individual accolades are many, his effort as part of the team is even greater.

“My favorite moment…is easily breaking the 4×100 meter relay record at Deerfield Academy [during the 2025 NEPSTA D1 championship],” he shared. As the first leg of the relay, Jordan led the team of himself, Luis Kuehberger ’25, Ross McKee ’25, and Ashton Cruz ’25 to run the race in 43.09 seconds, obliterating Belmont Hill’s previous record of 43.60. Jordan attributes the success to a “culmination of a lot of hard work, dedication, and teamwork over the years.”

While Jordan himself exemplifies the ‘and then some’ motto of the Track team, he also recognizes the hard work and dedication of the entire team: “I love how connected the track team is, especially this year…everyone supports each other and gives it their all.”

With the next level of football on the horizon, Jordan is excited to follow in the footsteps of some “really great people” from the BH community who went to Amherst. The Panel wishes him the best of luck.
