He spoke candidly about pushing through adversity and learning to navigate change with resilience, even in the face of repeated setbacks.</p><p>&#34;Greatness grows best in the shadows,&#34; he said to the students as he reminded them to trust the process and remember that &#34;there is greatness inside you.&#34;</p><p>Justin's remarks were followed by a Q&amp;A session moderated by emcee Scott Garceau, sports radio personality and broadcaster.</p><p>Tempris Harrison is a senior middle-distance runner and Team Captain who found in track more than medals — she found confidence, resilience, and a second family. After navigating family challenges and changing schools, running became her anchor and a source of strength. Competing in the 400m, 800m, and relays, she consistently puts team success first, stepping into relays on short notice and mentoring younger athletes. Her quiet leadership, discipline, and selfless commitment embody the spirit of the McCormick Unsung Hero Award and the Charles Perry McCormick Scholarship. </p><p>Avery Ray exemplifies resilience, leadership, and service. Despite personal challenges preventing contact sports, he thrived in the Allied program, competing in soccer, bocce, and softball. A four-year leader and 2023 State Champion in bocce, he also volunteers as a football and basketball manager. Balancing a 4.2 GPA, part-time work, tutoring, and hosting a podcast, he consistently elevates his school community through dedication and selflessness. </p><p>The Unsung Heroes program recognizes unselfish student-athletes and honors those who substantially contribute to the success of their school without receiving acclaim. Originally established in 1940 by former McCormick &amp; Company Chairman Charles P. McCormick Sr., the program is reflective of McCormick &amp; Company's core belief in the Power of People.  </p><p><b>About McCormick</b>  </p><p>McCormick &amp; Company, Incorporated is a global leader in flavor.
