Jared had his first track meet on a track rather than a grassy field in the rain at the Newton South track today against Brown and Oak Hill Middle schools. He long jumped a 17′ 5″ personal best for 2nd and ran the 100m in a PR 12.24 (12.48c) for 2nd. His 4x100m team took 2nd as well. According to Athletic.net (which doesn’t have Masssachusetts schools listed), the long jump mark would rank him 225th out of 11,000 middle schoolers listed on the site (top 2%) and (if grade entries are correct) 25th among 7th graders.
lookin’ better every time – Go Jared
It is partly the genes, the rest hard work, determination and talent. Keep it up!
Leaping lizard!
