News 8 Primetime 585 Elite Awards: Boys field
Our large school boys award goes to one of the best high jumpers in the nation!
This junior is his school's record holder in the high jump for both indoor and outdoor seasons.
His regular season featured a 15th place finish at the New Balance Nationals.
He finished 4th in the high jump at sectionals, but turned it on for the state competitions. He was first in the state qualifying event with a jump of 6-foot-9. He took that up an inch at the state finals, clearing 6-foot-10 to finish number two in New York.
That height placed this athlete among the top 15 high jumpers in the country this winter.
Our large school boys field athlete Elite Award winner is Beckham Taylor from Pittsford Sutherland.
Our small school winner is another two-time Elite Award winter champ.
This junior had a dominant regular season which featured a variety of event wins including a long jump and triple jump championship at the Virginia Showcase, which invites the best high school athletes in the country.
At sectionals he won the long jump by five feet, and the triple jump by seven feet!
He was first in both events at the state qualifier as well, but elected not to compete in the state championships.
His long jump of 24 feet, 10.75 inches was the second-best distance of any jumper in the country.
His best triple jump, at 50 feet and 8.5 inches, was number one in the country, by more than five inches.
The Elite Award for the best boys field athlete at a small school once again goes to Aiden Bryant at Midlakes High School.

Crystal Palace: Eberechi Eze release clause expires on August 15 amid Arsenal interest
Eberechi Eze's £68million release clause at Crystal Palace expires on August 15. Standard Sport understands the release clause remains active until that date, when the Premier League season begins with Liverpool hosting Bournemouth. Arsenal are aware of the situation and hold an ongoing interest in Eze, who is said to be happy at Palace but open to a move to the Emirates if the opportunity close to the situation believe Arsenal may need to make space in the squad by selling before moving for the England international. There has been interest from elsewhere in Leandro Trossard — who plays in similar positions to Eze — and suggestions that he could leave. The Gunners held talks with Eze's representatives earlier this summer and value the versatile forward at less than his £68m release clause, so would negotiate with Palace. The Eagles are expected to retain that £68m figure as their valuation of the 27-year-old after the clause expires. Eze was previously on Arsenal's books as a youngster until being released at the age of 13. Arsenal have already had a busy summer with six new signings through the door for combined fees in excess of £200m. Most recent additions Viktor Gyokeres and Cristhian Mosquera made their debuts on Thursday during a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham. Noni Madueke is set to join the squad for training next week following leave after the Club World Cup. In further good news, Ethan Nwaneri has signed a new long-term contract with the club, ending speculation over his own future.
