Jared Cromly of Andover Central was chosen as the All Seasons Letterman of the Month for October. Cromly plays soccer and bowling for the Jaguars.

Cromly was a first team all-league midfielder last season and had the second highest average on the bowling team.

It is an honor to be recognized amongst these great athletes,” Cromly said. “Even to be chosen over some of my teammates is a great honor. It feels like my hard work and dedication has paid off.”

Being able to manage time as a multisport athlete is challenging for Cromly, but he tries to live in the moment, rather than looking ahead to his preparations for whichever sport isn’t in season.

The sports I participate in are during the fall and winter seasons, which take up the majority of the school year,” Cromly said. “However, whichever sport season I am in is the one I am only focused on.”

While Cromly’s focus is on his teams being as successful as possible, he has lofty individual expectations as well. “It is still my intention to improve from last year,” Cromly said. “For me that means, first team all-state, all-league, and all-metro for soccer and first team all-state and all-league for bowling.”

Cromly also participates in choir and Circle of Friends at Andover Central.

Next year, Cromly intends on playing soccer in college, although he is unsure as to where. He wants to study psychology.
