over old records By ROBERT RISK Herald Sports Editor Georgetown District High School student Scott has been passing old triple jump records by leaps and bounds most notably when he shattered the GDHS record at the Rebel Relays on April and qualified for the Canadian Junior Cham pionships in Winnipeg this July On that day Hobbs set a new mark of 13 metres in the triple jump surpassing the II 75 metre distance set by in Shortly after ac complishing that feat he said his goal was to reach the 14 metre mark by the time the Halton championships took place today Friday at Nelson High School in Burlington I think I have a good chance of doing it My coaches Jim Taylor and Jay Anderson have been working on improving my arm motion and extension at the end of the jump Anderson head the Rebel and field team agreed saying Hobbs needed a little more work and his timing just a touch of adjustment in order to make a big improvement on his distance When he set the Rebel Relay record he took off about half a metre behind the marker It on ly a little bit further up and he could easily be jumping that magical 14 metre mark said Anderson who pointed out that a jump of that distance would eclipse the Halton record of 13 metres set back in 1971 Anderson said is a natural athlete somebody who is able to excel at a sport with lit tie experience or training in a Scolt particular sport The head coach said after seeing Hobbs try ferenct track and field events it was a shame competitors are limited to three individual events at the regional and provincial levels Everything he does he does welt in He just picked up the javelin one day and you wouldn t believe how far he threw it At the first half of the finals held Tuesday Hobbs placed third in junior boys 100 metre race qualifying for GHAC Golden Horseshoe Athletic Con ference being held at University on May talents first became ap parent four years ago when he was a student at George Kennedy Public School and was a member of the track and field team I done much track before and I had never tried tn pie jump untU that year I did pretty good coming in first and breaking the school and Halton records with a top jump of metres As a Rebel midget competitor last year Hobbs said he had some trouble Though he did well against local competition and qualified at the for the provincials not being able to find his jumping off mark forced him to finish fifth Ontario Jim Taylor who also coaches me most of the time has really helped me improve a triple jumper who is a member of the Canadian team and started the Georgetown Track and Field Club last year Since then said his distances have improved along with his confidence enabling him to strive to be the best in that event With Taylor as his mentor a man trying to qualify for the Olympics Hobbs said he wouldn see the Halton cham as a successful outing unless he managed a 14 metre jump He Taylor said been very impressed with what Ive done recently and has told me I am capable of breaking some of the records he set while in high school Coach Donehues Tips For CanaMv Inc Time for training How much lime should you spend training what Here are three ex to help
