News 8 Primetime 585 Elite Awards: Boys field
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Here are the News 8 Primetime 585 Elite Award winners for 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. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Midlakes' Bryant is Player of the Week
The Player of the Week for March 3rd is a junior who's been one of the area's elite track and field athletes for quite a while. Aiden Bryant of Midlakes had himself a day at the state qualifier. He set a new Section Five record in the triple jump by soaring 50 feet, 8.5 inches. He shattered the old record that stood since 2006 by over seven inches. He also won the long jump and the finished second in the 55 meter dash… Unlike sectional finals, the state qualifier does not have classes. The Midlakes junior had to face the best from even the biggest schools in Section Five. He still came away with enough wins to be our Player of the Week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
