My son Johnny Carter was featured in the Youth Sports Section of The Bakersfield Californian a few years ago as an up and coming track star.  He has excelled greatly in track and field since that time.  He is now a bronze medalist for the 2007 Junior Olympic Games in the Triple Jump, his jump was -- 41' - 07.25.  He jumped at the Kern Invitational this past friday (March 28, 2008) and jumped  46' -- he is a fourteen year old freshmen at Ridgeview High School. 
 
His Coach says:

I am Coach Kim Jenkins of Team Raw Track Club (Also Liberty High School of Bakersfield Jumps Coach), I have been training Johnny for years now and he has finally achieved some of his goals. Last summer he went 41' 7" in the J.O.'s at Walnut CA as a 13 year old Youth Jumper, well he is now in High school and "Wow" he has exploded. I'm hoping to have him in the Arcadia meet and Mt. Sac only a Freshmen and already in the elite class (National Elite Youth ranking # 5 in TJ) someone better look at the central valley this is the "Real Deal" let me know and I'm ready to give you more on this kid he is the next big "JumpMan"!
