Johnny Carter -Triple Jump

Defending is always harder then winning the first. Last season freshman Johnny Carter had a magical season and I still remember the roar from the crowd at both the valley meet and the state meet when he landed the winning jumps. Winning a California state title is amazingly difficult but to do it as a freshman is truly amazing.

To follow that up must be very difficult, now everyone knows you and you are the man. besides having to overcome the expectations and mental stress, Carter has been battling injuries most of the season. Fortunately, Carter has survived the gauntlet and won valley and will be returning to defend his triple jump title.
