SYRACUSE -- This week, we're telling the inspiring story of Corcoran's Jon Boehm. Just two short years ago, Jon was stricken with lipo-sarcoma, a malignant tumor in his soft tissue.
Through hard work and dedication, Jon is back and a paragon for Cougar athletics. One look on the field at Jon's leadership is evidence of that..
Boehm is a goalie for the soccer and lacrosse teams at Corcoran. In fact, in just over a year and a half of varsity soccer, Jon has ten shutouts, a fantastic statistic that has led the Cougars to a 7-2 record for the season.
His stellar play, coupled with his ability to overcome adversity, has inspired his team to it's great year so far.
Keep in mind that Jon is just a junior, so that number of ten shutouts is sure to grow as will the attention from college recruiters. Jon’s ‘never give up’ attitude would be a major credit to any institution.
Congratulations to Jon for his selection as our Dunkin' Donuts Action News Athlete!
