Ridgeview junior Johnny Carter set a new personal record in the triple jump at the USA Track & Field Region 14 Junior Olympic Outdoor Championships at Liberty on Sunday.

Carter's new mark is 49 feet, 1.75 inches, which won the Intermediate Division at the meet and qualified him for the national event starting July 28 in Greensboro, N.C. Carter won the 2008 CIF state championship in the triple jump with a wind-aided jump of 49-0.75 but had never before jumped a wind-legal 49 feet.
