Texas native Karson Gordon is a future UCLA quarterback who will compete at Arcadia Invitational after setting a national record in the triple jump.
The No. 1 high school triple jumper in America, Karson Gordon, is coming to town on Saturday to attend UCLA’s spring football practice in the morning. He’s committed to UCLA to play quarterback. In the evening, he’ll be competing at the Arcadia Invitational after setting a national scholastic record at last week’s Texas Relays when he achieved a mark of 53 feet, 1½ inches. “I felt perfection,” he said. “I never really celebrate after a jump, but I felt that was the one.
His triple jump skills have him dreaming of competing at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. This summer he will try to make the U20 national team that will compete in August at the World Championships in Lima, Peru. One of his hopes is to meet one the most successful triple jumpers ever, Willie Banks, who happens to be a former UCLA star and world record holder from 1985 when he went 58½ feet. “It would be awesome,” he said. “I always heard about his name.
