Week 8: Ledamian Rowell TURNS UP WITH 15.90m

In a week where the leaderboard was stacked with rising stars and pressure-packed jumps, Ledamian Rowell of the South East region rose above the rest—literally and figuratively. With a monstrous 15.90-meter leap, Rowell secured the top spot in Week 8, making a bold statement as the postseason approached.

Breaking Down the Jump

Rowell’s 15.90m performance wasn’t just about distance—it was about execution. From a smooth, rhythmic approach to a powerful hop-step-jump sequence, everything clicked. His landing was clean, and his posture through each phase showed the poise of an athlete in full control.

• Hop Phase: Aggressive but balanced, Ledamian generated serious vertical force without sacrificing forward momentum.

• Step Phase: Where many lose speed, Rowell stayed low and connected cleanly, maintaining velocity.

• Jump Phase: His takeoff was timed to perfection, giving him both hangtime and distance on the final phase.

Leading the Pack

Week 8 was no cakewalk. He shared the 15.90m mark with Stafon Roach (South Central), but based on countbacks and early attempts, Rowell edged him for the weekly lead. In a field where several athletes were clearing 15.20m–15.80m, Rowell's mark stood tall as the gold standard heading into Week 9.

Boosting the South East

Ledamian’s jump played a crucial role in the South East’s team surge. His points contributed directly to pushing the team total to 48.13, placing them just behind North Central by a razor-thin margin. Without his clutch performance, South East would’ve slipped in the standings—highlighting just how valuable his presence was in Week 8.

Setting the Tone

While Week 9 saw even bigger jumps from others, Rowell’s 15.90m served as the turning point for South East’s campaign. It showed that the region had elite-level talent capable of delivering on big stages.

Ledamian’s consistency, technical mastery, and competitive edge mark him as a name to watch not just in this league—but in any future meet where medals are on the line.

Final Word

In a season where every centimeter counts, Ledamian Rowell didn’t flinch. He delivered the jump of the week, powered his team up the ranks, and left no doubt that he belongs among the top-tier triple jumpers of the season.

Week 8 was his—and he earned every bit of it.
