The World Championships are literally around the corner at this point and I can’t wait. I’m as ready as I’ve ever been and will be even more prepared come the qualifying round. Since my last blog post, I took the New York State bar exam up in Albany, NY which was far from fun as [...]

It’s been about a month since I last stepped on the runway and just as much time since I shared a new blog post. I’m hoping to be doing both of those things a little more regularly (even if it’s once every other week). Last weekend though, I made my way down to the Bahamas [...]

Trying something new for this update so no long winded and wordy introduction this time around. Straight to the video… I uploaded the video of my UTEP jumps directly to my Facebook Fan Page so head there if you’re interested in checking that out. Next up for me will be a couple of meet in [...]

I fully realize that for some people, the outdoor track and field season got underway a couple weeks ago now. In fact, we had the first big relay meet of the year last weekend (Florida Relays; no disrespect to meets like the Raleigh Relays) and the Texas Relays take place this weekend. Unfortunately I won’t [...]

So I’ve been sent back to school; triple jump school. I can’t say that I ever really left Triple Jump School since I’m constantly learning, tweaking and attempting to perfect different aspects of my craft. Actually, even if I jumped this far, I’d still be back in the “classroom” the following Monday or Tuesday (after [...]

Usually after about a couple months of training my coach has our training group do some jump testing. You’ve heard this before since my blog is a little over a year old at this point and I wrote about my November jump tests last year. Just like last year, I did my first jump test [...]

I haven’t gotten to do jump testing just yet but I figured I’d share some results from the couple of tests that I did with the George Mason team a couple of weeks back. Besides, better to share them now before they’re too old and no longer relevant. It’s always fun to test though, even [...]

Since my last time out down in Puerto Rico a couple weeks ago I’ve been training hard for what is shaping up to be my season finale at the Diamond League final in Brussels, Belgium on August 27th. Don’t get me wrong, if other opportunities present themselves while I’m overseas I’ll definitely consider competing at [...]

I did say I would try blogging more frequently with this extra time that I have now, so I suppose this is the start. I’ll try and mix things up a bit though since I’m sure hearing about just my training and competitions could get old. Be on the look out for some movie reviews [...]
