Jefferson’s Mack signs with Texas Southern

JEFFERSON, Texas — Jefferson High School three-sport standout Leanna Mack, who will participate in the UIL State Track and Field Meet this weekend, locked up her college future on Monday when she signed a national letter-of-intent with Texas Southern University.

Mack is a four-time district champion and two-time state qualifier in the high jump.

“In the two years I have been here at Jefferson, Leanna has been involved in all of our athletic programes and she is one of those special ladies that is a joy to coach,” coach Mark Allen said. “This year she has been a vital part of a playoff volleyball team, a bi-district champion basketball team and now she’s advancing to state for the second year in a row in track.”

Allen said Mack took very few days off during her high school career.

“She always comes to athletics ready to make herself and her team better,” he said. “Her attitude and work ethic have helped her be successful in high school, and I know it will carry her through life.”
