BEST AND BRIGHTEST: Athlete uses disability to compete

Jack O’Neil has flipped his disability on its head and turned it into an ability.
“Much of what I do every day is geared towards lifting up my community of disabled athletes and fighting for equality,” the soon-to-be Village High School graduate said.
As an amputee who has been involved with sports his entire childhood, O’Neil considers himself fortunate to be a part of that community.
At the young age of 9, O’Neil had to make a grownup decision: whether to allow doctors to amputate his left leg above the knee. After numerous operations to try to correct genetic defects, they had run out of surgical options.
