Dual-Threat Quarterback Travis, Swimmer Baldari’s Jerseys Retired
Dual-threat quarterback Jordan Travis and swimmer Alessandra Baldari’s jerseys have been retired. Travis, who was named the Palm Beach County High School Player of the Year at the Lou Groza Awards in December, scored 24 touchdowns this season, passed for 2,190 yards, while rushing for 905 yards and 16 more scores. Athletic Director Ryan Smith ‘93 said he believes Travis is the greatest all around athlete to graduate from Benjamin.
“His combination of speed, size, quickness and natural athletic skills put him in a very unique category. In football, Jordan surpassed or came very close to breaking many school records, which is incredibly impressive as Jordan spent only two years at The Benjamin School,” said Smith. Travis will play football for Louisville in the fall.
Baldari, who will swim for Yale in the fall, is a three-time All-American, holds the School’s record in nine events and finished in the top three in multiple events at the FHSAA state championships.
“Her accomplishments are truly second to none, and establish her as the most decorated female swimmer to attend The Benjamin School,” said Smith.
