The long jump showcase was one of the first field event showcases added by the late Bill Bruno in 2019.
This year the long jump title looks in reach for a few contenders but with NJ No. 1 Damian Scouloukas of Hunterdon Central and NJ No. 2 Damarion Potts of South Brunswick the favorites.
The only two to go over 23 feet this winter for NJ - Scouloukas hit a mark of 23-2.25 while visiting PA for the Bears HS Invite back in January around the same time Potts recorded his NJ No. 2 jump of 23-2 during the Princeton Invitational.
Potts followed up with an Eastern States Championships winning leap of 23-0.5 on March 1st. He'll also be among the top contenders in the high jump.
