One of our HYROX Athletes in Action Shoutout to DPS Trooper Jacob Piel who recently competed in HYROX Boston. Competing in the relay division, he and his teammates placed 2nd out of 220 teams! Fun fact, Trooper Piel played defensive end for the @AngeloStateFB Rams – one of his HYROX teammates was the Rams’ All-Conference Quarterback. Rounding out this elite group of four are two members of the @NationalGuard. Congratulations to Trooper Piel and his incredible team. Next up—HYROX Dallas with the DPS HYROX team. #DPS #HYROX
