The high school track season hasn’t quite started, but that isn’t stopping exceptional local athletes from making great gains.
Renton High’s PJ Benedictus jumped a distance of 47 feet, 3.5 inches at the UW Open Meet Feb. 14 at Dempsey Indoor in Seattle.
Not only did Benedictus top college athletes from Western Washington, Central Washington, Seattle University (among others), the distance he leapt would have won the 3A state meet by over a foot last season.
Benedictus is a junior who competed at state last season in the long jump and 4X400 relay.
Benedictus is one to keep an eye on this spring.
