Andover Outing Club (AOC) kids all improved at our first home meets, which went off without a hitch. The day saw two long-standing girl’s records broken, with Jazlyn Perkins setting a new mark on the K10 with a 5-meter jump and Sophie Reynolds broke the record on the K18 with a 10.5-meter jump. Both records had previously been held by Samantha Veasey. (K18 means that the jump is designed so that a jumper can safely jump 18 meters before the hill starts to level out.)
AOC Results
Jazlyn Perkins was 1st for the K10 girls, Katie Bent was second, Eliza Guiliani was 3rd, and Emma Pine was 4th.
For the K10 boys, Mark Roberts was 1st with a 5.5-meter ride, and Bode Fanjoy was second.
On the K18, Sophie Reynold’s two jumps of 10.5 meters led the day.
