OXFORD– Jonathan Heggie has been spotlighted by the Evening Sun for his work as an amateur athlete competing in non high school related sporting events while also maintaining his high school athletic career.

Jonathan is a 16-year old amateur boxer hailing from Oxford New York. Jonathan's father and mother, Peter and Cathie recently shared some successes of their youngest son. Once you peer deeper into the situation however, it becomes even more impressive for a 16-year old.

Jonathan has learned to manage his time incredibly well at such a young age. As far as high school sports go he participates in Football, Basketball(last season), Baseball, as well as boys Volleyball. As this slate of sporting events along with the training and commitment to be an amateur boxer is already seeming a daunting task. Jonathan boast a resume that includes a constant flow of honor role grades as well as being a member of the National Honor Society.

“I am always doing something; I get home at like 8 o’clock every night,” said Jonathan.

So after a long day of dealing and managing all his activities, boxing seems to act as a getaway, something that most likely has encouraged and helped the success come, as Jonathan enjoys to box.
