Blessed to WIN 1st Place at STATE in High Jump Clearing 6'11 💪💪✊🛫— Calvin Clater™⚡ (@CalvinClater) May 12, 2017
Of course, we are in the quiet time of year, stretching from the spring game to the start of football camp. There are still the occasional news flashes.
This one comes from Texas, where the state's high school track and field championships were held recently.
Calvin Clater, a BG signee coming in to play WR, won the state's high jump title with a jump of 6'11", one full inch over the second competitor. He was in the 5A classification, which is the second highest classification in Texas, which I believe you know is a fairly large state.
I think we can all agree that kind of athleticism will look very good in orange and brown.
I looked it up, the MAC record is in the 7'4" range, so you get an idea where that might stand. Looking forward to seeing that leaping ability being put to work against a d-back. Too bad he can't be a two-sport star as a high jumper at BG.
I see a lot of back end zone throws, just have to watch the goal cross bar, even corner end zone throws
ReplyDeleteYep, gives definition to throw it up and let him go get it.
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing. I can't wait to see him on the field at BG.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to have him 15 lbs heavier by start of season though. At a listed 180 is small for a 6'3 WR
ReplyDeleteYes, though he could easily redshirt.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he would redshirt
