Our Inaugural 2024 Artists
Zachary Jarrett
2024 Medal Designer
Zachary Jarrett is a senior at Cedar Shoals High School. He explained, “When I created these designs, I was heavily inspired by the athletic components of the race itself but also the Greek-inspired style, aesthetic, and atmosphere of Athens. Having real-life connections in creating art expanded my own artistic vision and interest, and I am grateful for the opportunity to create this design.”
