Grace Academy track standout Brian Young has a long scrape down his right arm that is just beginning to heal.
“I was long jumping and I wasn’t doing too well during my prelim jumps, “ he said. “I scraped it on the concrete in the pit.”
As Young and eight of his teammates travelled to Eastern Washington University to compete in the 1B state championship meet, Young went to defend his state meet record in the boys long jump and vie against league rival Jordan Smith, of Lopez Island, for the title of best high jumper.
Young emerged from the meet a dual champion, winning both jumps.
