FRYEBURG — Fryeburg Academy junior Jacob Adams closed the book on his indoor track season in style by finishing third overall in the long jump at the prestigious New England Indoor Track and Field Championships in the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston, Mass., on Saturday. He broke his own school record in the process.
“Six athletes from each state are honored with the right to compete at this prestigious meet,” said Coach Kevin McDonald. “Jacob was entered in the long jump which consisted of three flights from worst to best. He was in the second flight and we felt that if he could make it to finals it would be a very successful meet. The top nine jumpers advance to the finals. “Jacob opened with a jump of 21’7” — a new indoor school record and a great way to start the competition,” he continued. “The third round held the best jumpers, yet the nearest they could come to Jacob was 21’5”. Not only did Jacob make to finals, he was leading the competition.”
