Mayor Richard Herbst presented a proclamation at the April 21 Vandalia City Council meeting honoring Jordan Gross for winning the national championship in the 60-meter dash at the Adidas Indoor Nationals.
Reading the proclamation, Herbst said, in part, "Whereas Jordan Gross has achieved a remarkable accomplishment by winning national championship in the 60 meter dash at the prestigious Adidas indoor nationals. An achievement that reflects not only the athletic talent but his unwavering commitment to excellence in a sport of track and field." He concluded, "I, therefore, Richard Herbst, by the Mayor as the mayor of the city of Vandalia, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, 04/22/2025 as Jordan Gross Day in the city of Vandalia."
