“I haven’t even thought of this being my last year doing track,” said senior jumper Avion Jones. “I probably won’t think about it until I complete my last meet and that’s just when all of that will hit me.”

After spending his freshman year at Virginia Military Institute Jones decided to transfer to ECU. A part of his decision was due to a high school friend and teammate, Allen Bordley, who had chose to attend ECU, according to head coach Curt Kraft.

“Allen Bordley is a triple jumper on our team and they were high school teammates at first colonial high school in the 757 area code,” said coach Kraft.
