AA Boys' Long Jump

Solanco's Troy Miller was 22nd in the state last season. Miller, since then, has become a much-improved long jumper. He hasn't competed much this season, but when he has, he's made the most of his opportunities. At the Lebanon-Lancaster Championship, Miller jumped a PA-AAA#1 of 23-6. He followed that up with another 23 foot jump at District 3.

District 11 champ Jahan Dotson of Nazareth jumped 23 feet to win in Whitehall last week. The versatile Dotson should be a contender for gold. Indoor state champion Micah Watts of West Mifflin will look to pull out more magic like he did for the win at Penn State in the winter.

State College's Kellin Valentine, Williamsport's Terrance Massey-Porter and LaSalle's Alex Sislo (third in '15) will make for a competitive event.
