Men's Long Jump Preview - IAAF World Junior Championships 2014
Published by
The last World junior champion (Sergey Morgunov 8.35m 27-4 3/4) set the World Junior Record and third place, Jarrion Lawson, was the NCAA indoor champion this year at 27-6. Youth can be a good thing with this event and quite often we see top international performers come out of the world junior event. 17 year-old Jianan Wang of China (8.10m) competed in the last World Championships and may become a multi-eventer after scoring 5483 in the Heptathlon as a 15 year-old or he has found his primary event. Trayvonn White (8.04m) pr'd at the US Junior championships and seems to be reaching unfullfilled potential in his freshman year at Central Arizona. Qing Lin of China has been a very successful junior competitor (7th 2012 World Juniors and 1st 2011 World Youth) and he is looking for his first jump over 8.00m and potentially medals in the long jump and triple jump. Duwayne Boer (7.89m) from South Africa is looking for his first world medal.
