Boys Long Jump - Keenan Hall IN 24-6.5
by Pete Cava
Keenan Hall (Indianapolis, IN) popped a wind-aided 24-6.5 mark on his
second attempt and rode it to victory. Hall, a recent graduate of Ben Davis High
School, matched his season best from the Indiana state meet, where he also
finished on top.
“This is a very fast track, so I just wanted to make sure I took advantage,”
said Hall. “My goal was to win the state title, but to win here means I'm among
an elite group of long jumpers.”
Hall, who missed the Indiana state meet record by one and a quarter inches, said
he's a relative newcomer to the event. “I never did the long jump because there
were guys who were always in front of me. So I just started practicing on the
side, and I became good at it.
Hall finished fourth in the 300 meter hurdles at the state championships and ran
a leg on the winning 4x400 meter relay.
Marlon Woods (Norfolk, VA) leaped a legal 23-7.5 in the third round, which gave
him the runnerup spot.
Clyde Young (Cahokia, IL) was third with a best of 22-11.25 , also made with
legal, non-aiding wind. Young got the nod on the countback over teammate Kali
Jackson, Friday's triple jump champ. Jackson wound up fourth with an identical
measurement, also legal.
Keith Graham (Charleston, SC), third in this event last year, finished seventh
this time around with a jump of 22-1.5.
