Just a week after breaking our school record in the high jump at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals, Jyles Etienne shattered the record again and added a school record in the javelin throw to close a remarkable day.

In the Bahamas Open National Track & Field Championships, the rising junior finished 7th in the high jump with a height of 6′ 8″, eclipsing his personal best by two-and-a-half inches. Etienne was the only high school jumper in the event which featured competitors as old as 31 and members of professional track clubs. His mark of 6′ 8″ places him at 10th in the country among all sophomores and leaves him just .03 meters shy of the qualifying mark for the IAAF World Youth Championships.
