Teenage sensation Jaydon Hibbert was the toast of the boys' under-20 long jump as he managed to cover a distance of 7.98 metres at the ongoing National Junior and Senior Championships at the National Stadium.

Hibbert achieved the mark on his first attempt while Jamaica College's Michael-Andre Edwards on his third attempt managed to leap to 7.57 metres, good enough for second place.

St Elizabeth Technical's Rickoy Hunter took the bronze medal as he cut the sand at 7.33 metres.
