Cahokia's Ja'Mari Ward Wins Long Jump, Triple Jump Titles at National Meet

Published by BND.com on March 18, 2015

Competing in the “city that never sleeps” and at a sports venue where the legends of track and field have put on memorable performances for decades, Cahokia High School junior Jamari Ward had one goal this weekend at the New Balance Track and Field Indoor Nationals in New York.

Ward, the reigning Illinois Class 2A state champion in the triple jump, put on a memorable performance at the famed New York City Armory.

Ranked as one of the top high school athletes in the nation in both the triple jump and long jump entering the exclusive competition, Ward captured titles in both – jumping career best distances of 25 feet 7 1/2 inches in the long jump and 51 feet 7 1/2 inches in the triple jump. Both are the best recorded in the nation this season.

“I just felt really good and strong. I had been here (New York City) for nationals last year and jumped 24 feet 6 inches,“ Ward said. “Honestly, my goal was just to jump further then I did a year ago. I did that and so it was a good weekend.”
