Jay Solano
Junior, Football
Lining up behind center for the Trenton High School varsity football team, Jay Solano has been able to make quite an impact throughout his two years suiting up for the Trojans. The starting quarterback on the football team, the starting third baseman on the District-Finals-competing baseball team and a member of the varsity basketball team, Solano was recognized by the Downriver League for having played three varsity sports — especially impressive considering he did so last year as a sophomore. Along with his athletic abilities, Solano has been a force in the classroom as well. He maintains a 3.8 grade-point average and is a member of the Spanish Honor Society and Interact Club. He hopes to have the opportunity to continue his athletic pursuits at the collegiate level, but for now he’s looking forward to the next two years of competing for Trenton athletics. While he is undecided as to what field he would like to study, Solano currently is leaning toward a major within the business or mathematics fields. His parents, Linda Kell and David Solano, are excited to see what the next two years and beyond hold for him. — Brian Rzeppa
