The school’s statement on Ronningen’s death included: “Jackson believed that baseball taught him resilience and perseverance. That notion is echoed in his admission essay, which reads in part: ‘I continue to set lofty goals for myself, ignoring the scoffers and doubters along the way. I live life with determination, on my toes, reaching way up for the sky — which I will continue to do at Williams College.’ ”
