Kerry Lehane '17 Recruiting Profile

I began competing T&F for the first time in my Sophomore year.  It was then that I tied the PHS TJ record with another jumper at 33'6.5"   Then as a Junior, I jumped a personal best 34'6.5" for the new school record.   After attending the T&F clinic at Harvard this summer, I learned some new exercises/techniques and look forward to jumping greater lengths this year as a senior!  In the meantime,  I have kept my academics a focus, attaining high honor roll, National & RI Honor Society and World Language H.S.   My LJ and HJ personal bests are 16'2" and 4'11" respectively.  If I continue to improve, I could potentially jump those events in college also.   This past year,  my HS track coach awarded me most improved T&F member.  Prior to high school athletics, I was a competitive Open Champion Irish step dancer for 12 years.  My T&F coach says that's probably why my legs were so strong and I had success with jumping.
