The 5-foot-9, 130-pound junior jumper and sprinter won three individual state titles at the Class 2A state meet this past season, helping the Eagles to second place as a team. Larry broke the tape in the 200-meter dash with a personal-best time of 21.06, soared a state-record 25 feet, 11.5 inches in the long jump and won the 100 dash. This spring, he produced two performances that ranked in the national Top 15 among prep competitors in 2022, including the No. 1 long jump and the No. 6 clocking in the 100. His best 200 ranked No. 34 in the nation, and his fourth-place finish in the 100 at adidas Nationals earned him All-American status. His winning long jump at nationals was almost 24 feet, while his state record in the event ranked No. 14 in American prep history at the time of his selection.
Larry has maintained a B average in the classroom. He will begin his senior year of high school this fall.
Larry has volunteered locally as a volunteer coach for athletes with physical challenges on behalf of DreamPlex Clermont, and he has donated his time serving meals to the houseless at the Orlando Union Rescue Mission. He has also given his time to Rad Ride with the Police, helping kids learn how to ride a bike safely.
