Zac Pressley is a junior at Columbus East High School in Columbus, Indiana. Zac is six feet, two-inches tall and weighs one hundred seventy-five pounds. Zac has broken two school records. He has broken the twenty-year-old long jump record with a distance of 22 feet 2 inches, and has broken the thirteen-year-old 200-meter record with a time of 22.3. In a recent conversation with his uncle Zac stated he hopes to break the 100-meter record too.

Zac has not yet qualified for the state meet but is attempting to do so this year (through the sectional and regional meets). "Barring injury, Zac should qualify in a couple of different events," states the head coach at Columbus East High School Eric Gutjahr. Zac also played football this past season and did not drop a single game pass and scored several touchdowns. You may realize that Zac is less than two seconds shy of breaking the USA Track and Field Youth Athletics (age group) National Record in the 200 meters. "In other words, the boy has great Olympic potential," states Darryl Pressley, Zac's Uncle.
