THE TYRONE SYDNEY PANNELL ’60 SCHOLARSHIP

FOUR-YEAR SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT JELANI JOHNSON ’23

Jelani Johnson ‘23 believes that if Tyrone Pannell ‘60 was at Bishop Loughlin now, he would be honored to be “a friend.” Jelani, like Tyrone, is an honor student (Jelani is a member of the National Honor Society) and a track champion. Among other accolades, Jelani is a NYC Mayor’s Cup Cross Country Champion, a 2020 Bishop Loughlin Games 1000m Indoor Champion, and a 2019 AAU 800m All-American.

Coming to Loughlin from Merrick Academy in Queens, long-time runner Jelani says “While my ambition is to become an anesthesiologist, one of my greatest loves is track and fi eld.” He is on the Cross Country and indoor and outdoor Track & Field teams and is currently looking to run at several colleges and universities including Rutgers University, Texas A&M, the University of Tennessee, and Georgetown University.

“He’s (Tyrone Pannell) an inspiration, someone to look up to, a role model. I’m glad to know about his legacy and example.”
