Scott soars to world lead in Puerto Rico, Blake dips below 10 at JC

A day after local athletes continued preparations for next month's National Senior and Junior Championships at last Saturday's JAAA Puma Meet Two at the Ashenheim Stadium, triple jumper Jordan Scott produced a career-best performance on his way to capturing gold in the men’s triple jump at the Coqui International Cup in Puerto Rico.
The 28-year-old Jamaican leapt 17.66 metres, a new world lead, to finish well ahead of the United States pair of James Carter (16.78m) and Salif Mane (16.75m).
