JaQuincy Bostick poses for a portrait with his track spikes that feature pictures of his late cousin, Yasir Clark, in Rochester, N.Y. on Jan. 6, 2023. Bostick, a track athlete and football player, runs track at Graceland University, where he is currently a sophomore. He had the track spikes custom-made soon after his cousin was killed. Clark was shot and killed outside of a nightclub in Downtown Rochester on June 11, 2022, following a verbal altercation with the perpetrator earlier that evening. "Track and football are basically like me venting, but in a different way," says Bostick. "I don't vent to people. Things that I go through, I just let it out on the track and football field.”
