He believes his greatest strength is in the shortest sprint. \u201cI feel like my strength is my 100m and I\u2019m working on improving my block start and explosiveness,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The environment around CCS track fuels that growth. \u201cWhat I love most about the team is the energetic environment and having teammates and coaches that make the sport fun,\u201d Wilcox said. Former teammates such as 2024 graduates Sam Boyles and Kendall Davis helped shape him early in his high school career. \u201cBoth Kendall and Sam helped me grow as an athlete in all of my events and I enjoyed doing track with them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Wilcox, representing Community Christian is about more than medals. \u201cWhat makes representing CCS special for me is that we\u2019re a Christian school and other people look at us as an example of what Christians are like,\u201d he said. \u201cIt reminds me to be a good example of our school and glorify God with what I say and do on and off the track.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Track, he added, has taught him lessons that go far beyond the finish line. \u201cAthletics has taught me that even when things are hard in life you don\u2019t quit, keep going and push through till the end, and you end up learning from it all.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Community Christian\u2019s Reef Wilcox Junior sprinter and jumper Reef Wilcox has quickly become one of the faces of Community Christian School\u2019s varsity track program, pairing explosive speed with a mindset centered on joy, precision and faith.
