ONE MEET. THREE LEADERBOARDS. KENYON EVANS A CONSTANT.

Boland opens at 6-8. Evans appears on three separate state lists. Davis is a foot clear in the pole vault. Garrett owns the triple jump.

This past weekend was a big one for Ohio boys jumps. Kenyon Evans put his name on three leaderboards in one afternoon. Teague Boland already matched his 2025 outdoor PR in his season opener. Corey Davis is a foot clear of everyone in the pole vault. And Key'Shawn Garrett is running and jumping like one of the best multi-threat athletes in the state.

Teague Boland walked into the LaSalle Legends Track & Field Classic on Mar 28 and in his first outdoor meet of the season, cleared 6-8, a mark that's currently the top in the state. (Indoors, he holds a PR of 6-10.00 from the 2026 KTCCCA President's Day Weekend Invite.)

Kenyon Evans had a day at the Rice/Stacey Boyd County Classic. The Wheelersburg senior opened with 21-11.50 in the long jump, an outdoor PR. He came back in the triple jump and went 42-1, another outdoor PR. Then for good measure he cleared 6-2.00 in the high jump for a spot on a third state leaderboard. His indoor long jump and triple jump PRs are 22-7.75 and 43-1.75, respectively, both set at the the 2026 OATCCC D3 Indoor State Meet.

In the pole vault, Corey Davis cleared 16-0.00 to win the Troy Up and Running Invitational on Mar 28, an outdoor PR and a mark that puts him a full foot ahead of second place on the state leaderboard. The Chesapeake senior won 10 straight indoor competitions, capping that run with a 16-6.00 win at the 2026 OATCCC D3 Indoor State Meet on Mar 7. He stepped up to adidas Indoor Nationals on Mar 20 and placed fifth.

Key'Shawn Garrett does not have a narrow event profile. The Wayne senior went 43-4 in the triple jump at the Wayne Quint on Mar 27. he tops that state leaderboard now, and had his sights on his outdoor PR of 46-4.75. At the same meet he ran 10.97 and 22.38 in the 100m and 200m, both into headwinds. His PRs read like a decathlete's: 10.63 in the 100m, 20.74 in the 200m, 49.12 in the 400m, 8.82 in the 60m hurdles, 23-0 in the long jump indoors, and 6-0 in the high jump.
