In praise of Will Claye, Triple Jump/Long Jump star

Will Claye was on his zone on Friday in the triple jump. Claye went 17.47 meters, 17.68 meters, 17.79 meters, 17.78 meters, and boom, 17.91 meters in his fifth attempt. Claye was not challenged, as Christian Taylor had a bye, and did a run through, a foul, and the party was over.

Will Claye and Christian Taylor will meet in London. Former Gators, Claye and Taylor compete with each other, respect each other and draw each other’s best performances. We can not wait for London!
