Shortly after, Jack’s father, Dr. William Sterrett, was named Baylor’s Department Chair and Professor of Educational Leadership, moving the family from North Carolina to Waco. Despite initial challenges, including adjusting to the Texas heat and a demanding training schedule, Jack excelled in high school and earned a spot on Baylor’s team.
