(from usctrojans.com) "The first jump by the sophomore Jackson in the men’s long jump went for 25-0.75/7.64m (-0.1) and put him in third place halfway through the first round. He was still third when he took his second jump and did not improve with a mark of 24-4.50.7.43 (-1.1). He was still third after two full rounds of jumps. His third jump was an improvement to 25-1.25/7.65m (-0.6) and he remained in third heading to the finals. By the time he jumped in the finals he had slipped to fifth and did not improve with a leap of 24-11.00/7.59m (-1.4), He improved to 25-1.75/7.66m (+1.8) in the fifth round, but remained fifth. His final jump was no improvement (24-7.25) and he finished fifth overall to earn first-team All-American status. Jackson, who also finished fifth in the long jump in 2015, became the first Trojan to score in consecutive seasons in the long jump at the NCAA Championships since Ed Tave did so in 1983 and 1984. Jackson earned USC’s men’s team its first four points in the team competition." Adoree's PR is 25-11.5 (from last season) and Olympic qualifying is 26-8+. I hope we will be seeing him on the football field soon as his best jump at 7.65m is short of the 8.15m needed to quality which means he would need to add about 9 inches to his PR from last year - which is an awfully lot to ask.
