Jarrion Lawson looks ready for Birmingham. His fifth round LJ leap of 8.38 meters took the lead and that victory of Lawsons.
In the fifth round, Maurice Dendy leaped 8.22 meters and took the silver position.
Michael Hartfield must have been in shock, as his 8.18 meter PB had lead until attempt 5.
Jarrion Lawson is a fine sprinter and jumper. He took the silver in the LJ in the London World Championships. What can he do in Birmingham?
