It wasn't the all time national record but he had the best high jump and triple jump in the country his junior year.

He was also a star on the track and field team, placing first in the nation in the long jump and the triple jump during his junior year.




That article is incorrect. Here are the official rankings for Fleming's junior year. He was tied for 20th in the high jump, 21st in the long jump, and not in the top 25 for the triple jump.

Hmm.. I wonder why the principle announced it as being the best in the nation that year? Maybe it was the best distance/height recorded SO FAR that year? I'm just guessing. But for a 6'3" 220 guy jumping 7 feet and long jumping 24 feet is insane. He hardly ever touched a weight as well.
