Breehana Jacobs lived in the fast lane. One of the greatest sprinters in the history of Western Pennsylvania, Jacobs won eight WPIAL gold medals and six PIAA golds in sprinting events during her career. In 2007, she became only the third female in WPIAL history to sweep the championships in the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes. She still holds the best time in WPIAL history in the 400 and still owns a PIAA championship meet record in the 100. After high school, Jacobs ran at the University of South Carolina, where she was a five-time All-American. Breehana was a member of Team USA in the 2007 Junior Olympic Pan-Am Games.
