Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-2, 152-pound junior hurdler won four individual state championships at the Class A state meet this past season, leading the Red Riots to the team title. Sioho broke the tape in the 110-meter high hurdles and the 300-meter intermediate hurdles in addition to winning the long jump and the triple jump, setting meet records in the latter two events. He also won the triple jump at the New England Outdoor Championships with a wind-aided leap of 48 feet, 4.75 inches. A native of Burkina Faso in West Africa who moved to the United States in 2020, his top wind-legal triple of 48-2.5 ranked No. 26 nationally among prep boys competitors this spring.
