Freshman Johnny Carter made the country take notice once again as he notched a pair of NCAA Indoor Championship Automatic Qualifier jumps this past Friday and Saturday at Boise State's Jacksons/New Balance Invitational. In the long jump, Carter delivered a remarkable 24-7 (7.49m) to capture 1st overall in the field of 20 jumpers. 

His triple jump encore to the long jump was simply spectacular. Flying a clean 51-3 (15.62m), the freshman showed just how dangerous he could be as he surpassed his 50-9.25 mark from the UAB Blazer Invite that took the nation by storm. Carter's distance placed him 1st of 12 at the Jacksons/New Balance Invite itself and served as another new ART U program record.

"I feel very excited about being the top jumper right now," Carter said. "I know I cannot sleep on my competition or else my spot will be taken. My motivation builds each meet. I know I must protect my spot. If I train like a champ and keep faith, then sky is the limit."
