Jeremy battled through multiple injuries and surgeries, including Tommy Johns, to emerge as a top contender in the sport. In 2015, he took gold at the USA Indoor Championships with a meeting record of 6273 points for the Heptathlon. That summer, following a runner-up finish at the US Outdoor Championships, Jeremy earned a spot on Team USA at the World Championships in Beijing.
