At a tire and auto-repair shop in a small town in Florida, there is a room with glass walls lined practically from top-to-bottom and side-to-side with what amounts to a shrine for the 2018 women’s high jump SEC Champion. Amber Boss, along with her husband and owner of the shop Thomas Boss, has plastered the walls to celebrate the achievements of their oldest daughter, Logan Boss, a senior high-jumper at Mississippi State.
There are newspaper clippings from high school, stories printed off the internet, pictures from any source imaginable and even team posters from MSU’s track and field team covering all the available space in the room.
