Union Pines two-sport athlete Kael Jahn is Athlete of the Week.
Plenty of athletes around the state are able to compete in two — or more — high school sports. Not many do so simultaneously, however. Jahn spent the fall playing goalkeeper for the Vikings boys’ soccer team while also kicking for the football team.
Things went pretty well doing double duty, too. Jahn finished second in the Sandhills Conference in goals against average and shared the Sandhills Goalkeeper of the Year award. He also ranked No. 15 in the 3A level in goals against.
Meanwhile, in American football, he averaged 30 yards on punts, 52.8 yards on kickoffs and scored 30 points, going 27 for 28 on PATs and 1 of 2 on field goals.
