The Curious Life of Jacob Stanko
A student-athlete whose relentless passion to live life to its fullest is second only to his faith
Jacob Stanko throws a javelin at the Tom Jones Memorial Classic in 2019.
Jacob Stanko’s frame fills any room he enters.
Six-feet-two-inches tall and a chiseled 230 pounds with thick, dark brown hair that effortlessly frames his face as it tumbles past his ears, it’s hard to ignore the self-described introvert.
Against his competition, he’s a giant among titans. But Jacob isn’t phased.
He takes a breath to collect his thoughts and recites a prayer to God. He’s practiced the throw a thousand times. Still, a conversation with God centers his mind toward his goal.
