Rex Hallam

Last season we had some folks calling us “Long Jump County” thanks to two guys named Cothern and Hallam. They practiced every day in a pit that was essentially a pile of sand that flooded and washed away every time it rained. Next spring our kids will be practicing in this. ⚡️

Rex moving into the 7th spot of the top 10 🔥

We can finally say…IT’S MEET DAY‼️ 🆚 Coughlan-Malloy Cup 📍Terre Haute, IN ⏰ 2 pm ET

You know what week it is... #RivarlyWeek‼️

Privileged to get two all-time greats together for a workout tonight (Rex is long jumping for Illinois State these days). The two top medal winners in Olney History didn’t disappoint 😳 @RexHallam2 hit a new PR of 37”. @gavyncothern2 hit 38… the best jump I’ve ever measured.

Struggled forever w/ what to do when it comes to comparing my ML data to the years of Freelap times I already had... to the point of even going back to FL for a while. Finally decided on a normalized/converted FL MPH so all our data lives next to each other... pretty happy w/ it.

On to the next one. Ⓜ️
