State of the Action


One half of a top jumping pair from Beacon, Rayvon Grey has improved by leaps and bounds this season. With an almost wind-aided win at Loucks in the mighty impressive 24-9.75, it push him at NY #5 All-Time for the event. But that doesn't make him a clear favorite, as Malik Sainnoval has a personal best over the 24-foot level, with his 24-3.5. An off day from either athlete could wrap up the conversation. Charlie Lambert is your Indoor State Champ, with a personal best of 24-6, but has yet to reach those distances outdoors. The thrill of competition could spur such a mark, and upset the field. Jude Pierre and Kavon Hunt also find themselves, well, in the hunt. As for D2, Tim Kiluba and Anthony Roderick come in as equal seeds, with Dan Harden not too far behind.
