“Despite being under 6 feet in height, Sterling Scott stood among the tallest on the national scene in the sand pits this spring. He recorded the No. 2 all-conditions triple jump mark in the country with a 50-foot-11 effort to kick off his postseason, where he also soared 24-8 in the long jump. He is the only athlete in America with all-conditions top five marks in both horizontal jumps this spring.”
