Day 3 event summaries/results
800-200-1600 Re Qualifying - Field Event Finals Begin!

Ken Hall (Future TC in Louisiana and a senior-to-be at Tara HS) exploded to the best triple jumping ever by a US High Schooler, spanning an incredible 56-02.5w (win +4.6 mps) and a
legal 54-10.25 (wind +1.7 mps). The previous best was 53.11.50 by Greg Yeldell in 1998.

New! Vault guru Becca Gillespy's video sequence of Hall's jump!

"The best prep field event performance since Michael Carter's 81-03.5
shot put from way back in 1979."  -- Mike Kennedy, Track & Field News

"It definitely rates as prep history's #2 field event performance ever,
behind Carter's shot put." -- Jack Shepard, Track & Field News
