During his senior season he broke a four-year standing record in the breaststroke and then broke that record another five times during the season. He was named to the All-STC first-team in the breaststroke and also was an honorable mention in the 50 freestyle. In his senior season, Jason finished fifth in the sectional meet in the breaststroke after finishing ninth the year before.
