Boys Triple Jump - Kali Jackson edges Gary Jones Kali Jackson by Pete Cava As expected, Kali Jackson and Gary Jones took the top two places in the hop, skip and jump. Jackson (Cahokia, IL), had a third-round leap of 50-6.75, which held up for the win, and Jones's 50-4.5 on his fourth attempt to decide the outcome.“I knew there was a chance he would jump 50-feet with me,” said Jackson, “so I was prepared to go the distance. I had some pretty good approaches down the runway, so I knew if I could get another beyond 50 feet he might have a hard time topping it.” Jackson, a Wallace State recruit, is the national leader at 52-5.75. Jones (Webster, NY) stands third on the current prep list at 51-5.25.Even though it was no surprise, the triumph thrilled Jackson. “This is excellent for me to be here,” he said, “and to have a chance to win a Nike championship is awesome. It gives the recognition I need to achieve.”Third in Friday's competition with a 49-10 effort was Keith Graham (Charleston, SC), who duplicated his 2005 Nike Outdoor Nationals finish. All marks were made with legal, non-aiding wind.
