Hairston will be an excellent addition to the Golden Flashes program, as he's just coming off Division 1 State Championship wins in both the long jump and triple jump events. His impressive indoor PR's stand at 23-8 and 47-6.5, respectively. During outdoor competition, he's leaped 24-5.5 in the long jump.
While the jumping events are considered to be his forte, Hairston also competes in a variety of sprints, where he's clocked 7.03 in the 60 and 49.46 in the 400 (outdoor). Hairston has a wealth of big meet experience, which includes trips to New Balance Nationals, the MileSplit / SPIRE Scholastic Showcase and the AAU Junior Olympic Games.
