To say that Josh Honeycutt was raised in an athletic family is a bit of an understatement. Honeycutt will compete in the triple jump in Eugene, Ore., at the U.S. Olympic Trials with his sights set on earning a place on the U.S. Olympic Team bound for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“He grew up in a house where we like to consider ourselves champions,” Josh’s father, the Rev. Phil Honeycutt, said.

Gina Honeycutt, Josh’s mother, was a standout athlete at Cherryvale High School and her father was a member of the University of Kansas’ track and field team and even roomed with Hall of Fame basketball player Wilt Chamberlain during his time as a Jayhawk.
