Event Preview
You get the sense that this event is wide open between a number of athletes for that title. The state leader out of Red Bank Regional, Lawrence Hicks at 6-8, won't be competing at MOCs.
Your top seed is Malakai Pressey of Freehold Boro who won the Group 3 state title at 6-7, now tied for NJ No. 2 in 2024.
Jordan Russell of Weehawken cleared 6-6 to win Group 1 and is tied with Pressey for NJ No. 2 based off his 6-7 PR earlier in Feburay at Sectionals.
David Godbolt of Rancocas Valley won the Group 4 state title clearing 6-6 and is tied for NJ No. 4 with Professor Ceo of Manville who was second in the Group 1 at 6-6.
Liam Paneque out of NV Demarest HS shouldn't be left out of the conversation either, he has a season best of 6-5 and also qualified among the top seeds in the triple and long jump showcases. So we'll see where his energy is focused on Sunday.
