Blue Devil Athlete Spotlight: Jacob Magliozzi (Indoor Track & Field)

Leominster High School senior Jacob Magliozzi has been a key contributor to the Blue Devil cross country, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field programs since his freshman year. His passion for running and competition began at Sky View Middle School and has continued to grow throughout his time at LHS.

“I love how track builds a hard working mindset,” Magliozzi said. “You cannot improve your times if you don’t put in the work at practices and meets. The feeling of accomplishment from beating a personal record makes the effort completely worth it.”

Magliozzi’s four years with the Blue Devils have been filled with memorable experiences and personal growth.

“I love how being a part of the track team has led to so many memorable experiences,” Magliozzi said. “Supporting each other creates a really positive environment where everyone is bonded together, despite each of us running different events.”

Known for his dedication and work ethic, Magliozzi has earned the respect of his coaches and teammates.

“I have coached Jacob for the last seven years and have watched him grow significantly as a runner,” said coach Cathy Harris. “He is a dedicated student-athlete who consistently puts in great effort. Furthermore, he maintains a positive attitude and is always supportive of his teammates.”

Magliozzi credits much of his mental toughness to the lessons he has learned from his coaches.

“Throughout my years with the coaches, they have taught me that running takes a lot of mental strength,” Magliozzi said. “Improvement is often about getting stronger at ignoring the voice in your head that wants to quit. This mindset is really amazing because it can be applied to so many other aspects of life.”

Beyond athletics, Magliozzi is actively involved in the LHS community. He serves as treasurer of S.T.U.M.P. and vice president of SkillsUSA. He is also a member of the Math Team and National Honor Society. Outside of school, he enjoys biking, spending time with friends, and working on personal engineering projects. He also volunteers with Challenger Basketball and Baseball, helping children with disabilities participate in sports.

After graduation, Magliozzi plans to attend UMass Lowell, where he will study computer engineering.

“My favorite class has been my shop, Honors Electronics,” Magliozzi said. “My favorite teacher has been my shop’s upperclassman instructor, Mr. Antonetti.”

Jacob Magliozzi has made the most of his time at Leominster High School and CTEi, fully embracing the dedication, leadership, and teamwork expected of a Blue Devil.
