In his first competition in more than two years, Kingsway’s Orion Joyner triple jumped over 48 feet in a meet in Highland Park.
Joyner, an Atlantic 10 champion at Rhode Island, jumped 48-3 in his first meet since May 12, 2024, when he went 48-9 ½ at the IC4A Championships in Fairfax, Va.
No wind reading and no series information at the Last Chance Invitational, but Joyner placed 2nd to Malachi Aiken, a former NCAA finalist for Maryland-Eastern Shore.
Joyner’s PR is 50-4 ¾ from the 2023 Atlantic 10 Championships in Amhest, Mass. That’s 3rd-best in school history. Joyner is from Mickelton, East Greenwich Township, Glouester County.
