Boys 60m Hurdles - Cordera Jenkins TX 7.73

text by Pete Cava

Boys 60 meter hurdle finals:  In a very close race at the finish, Cordera Jenkins in lane four barely shaded Darius Reed in lane five.  Jenkins’ winning time was 7.73 to 7.77 for Reed (Denver, CO).  Third was Johnny Dutch (Garner, NC) in 7.80.
“I did come in as an underdog,” said Jenkins, a Dicksinson, Texas, High Schooll senior who’ll compete next year for Texas A&M.  “What I had to do was focus.  It’s not about winning.  It’s about being focused.  That’s the name of the game.”
The 6-0, 170-pound Jenkins praised Reed’s efforts.  “What’s his name?  Reed?” he asked.  “He’s a competitor, too.”
Jenkins’ time is the fastest by a high schooler this season.

Boys 60 meter hurdles – semifinals:  Cordera Jenkins continued to impress, winning the second semifinal heat in 7.74.  Darius Reed won the first semi in 7.81 and Johnny Dutch won heat 3 in 7.86.
Other qualifiers for Sunday’s final were Steven Jones, Josh Hembrough and Kirt McReynolds.
Winners of the three heats advanced, along with the next three fastest times.  Among the non-qualifiers was Florida recruit Carrington Queen (Boothwyn, PA). 

Boys 60 meter hurdles – heats:  Out of 15 heats, winners plus the next nine fastest advanced to the semifinal round.
Cordera Jenkins (Dickinson, TX) posted the fastest qualifying time with a 7.83 in heat one.  Next came Steven Jones (Giddings, TX) at 7.96.
