Jon and Jordan Duran have worked
DENVER — Two Metropolitan State University of Denver students chased their dreams to become college athletes.
Twin brothers Jon and Jordan Duran were told they couldn't compete in cross country because they were short on NCAA class requirements. They have autism and were taking a lighter course load. Now, they're excelling in class and finally racing on behalf of MSU Denver. They raced in the RMAC conference championship on Saturday at Washington Park in Denver.Jon and Jordan are sophomores on the MSU Denver cross country team studying Hospitality. The two are teammates and twins from Arvada.
“They both have autism, it's obviously a challenge with them when it comes to academics,” Rego said. “Jonathan and Jordan are like the heart and soul of our team, they are super positive they are great teammates,” Rego said. “Jonathan actually has the highest GPA out of our whole team,” Rego said. “Coach Amanda said ‘Jordan, you got to catch up, one lap to go, I just sprinted off like a cheetah,’” Jordan Duran said.
“Just keep on going, don't listen to other people, what they said to you negative stuff, just go out there have a good heart, be the best thing you can do, just follow your dreams, you know, don't give up,” Jon Duran said.
