Penn State freshman Ahmad Fogg from Egg Harbor Township High recorded a victory in his first collegiate meet Saturday.
Fogg jumped an indoor PR 23-6 ¾ to win the long jump at the Simmons-Harvey Invitational at the Athletics South Competition and Performance Center at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Fogg’s previous indoor PR was a 22-3 ½ last year as an EHT senior at Ocean Breeze. He jumped 24-4 ¼ outdoors at West Philly Nationals in June.
Fogg won the competition by three-quarters of an inch over Michigan State’s Heath Baldwin. He popped the 23-6 ¾ on his first attempt.
His 23-6 ¾ is the best jump by a Penn State freshman in seven years, since William Henderson jumped 23-11 on Feb. 2, 2018, in a meet at Penn State’s Ashenfelter Track in State College, Pa.
