Lee breaks high-jump record
high jump
Adonus Lee cleared 4-feet, 5-inches at the GRPA state track meet in Carrollton to win the high jump and break the state record of 4-4. Lee was one of 32 medalists from the Fort Stewart Youth Sports Rockets.
The Fort Stewart Youth Sports Rockets Track Club picked up 60 medals at the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association State Meet in Carrollton, May 11-12
Of those medals, 18 were gold. Leading the way for the Rockets was Adonus Lee, who broke the state high jump record for 9-10 year olds. He cleared 4-feet, 5-inches.
Ironically, it was a Rocket who held the record. Monture Campbell,  currently a senior at Bradwell Institute, set the record in 1999 with a 4-4 jump.
In addition to winning the high jump, Lee also won the 800 meter race, finishing it in 2 minutes, 48.10 seconds. He also placed second in the 400, finishing it in 1:07.26.
Campbell and the rest of the Rockets are ready to compete in the Georgia Games at 9 a.m. Saturday at Savannah State University.
