What a wonderful tribute to Jordan's dad by her mom.
Dang allergies. Congratulations, Jordan. I have no doubt that your dad is looking down and smiling.

I did not know he had passed away. Very sad losing a parent and spouse so
young. When did this happen? Did he get to see her at VT? 😓

I believe he passed away during her senior year of high school.
There was a wonderful story written by the local paper about her senior day - she put on the catchers gear the last two innings in his honor. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. A very special family. So glad they are Hokies!

Chip, got any back story on Jordan's recruitment & how she came to choose
VT?

She attended a camp at VT before her junior year of high school
From a story in the Roanoke Times: "Lynch fell in love with Tech when she was at the camp. She verbally committed to Tech in September of her junior year of high school, picking the Hokies over Duke."
