Charles McBride (Apex) won a loaded High Jump where six boys tied at 6-10.25. McBride was awarded National Champion on tiebreak as he only had one miss in the competition at 6-6.25, he cleared 6-8.25 and 6-10.25 on the first event.
McBride had a season-best of 6-10 prior to today and was the third-place finisher at the NCHSAA 4A State Championships. It shows how strong the High Jump competition is within the state has been this year.
McBride emerged as a star high jumper this indoor season when he jumped a big PR of 6-9. Just a year ago he jumped in the Emerging Elite section of the National Meet where he took 6th place jumping 6-4.
McBride moved from Apex Friendship to Apex this year due to redistricting in Wake County. He was able to immediately continue his success even though he had moved to a new school.
The junior was third at Indoor National Championships where he jumped an indoor state record of 7-0.25. Though he's still never won a state title, McBride ends his junior year as a national champion.
McBride will continue the outdoor season through the USATF JO Championships back at North Carolina A&T in July.
