Hammed Suleman

We're down to the final three competing in a double-dual semifinal and this one comes down to the 4x4!!!

While we're focusing on the horizontal jumps this week, we thought a quick look at the Clovis North star's current place in history was in order.

CalBears.com Q&A with Hammed SulemanThree Golden Bears - senior Mike Morrison (heptathlon), sophomore Hammed Suleman (triple jump) and senior Allison Stokke (pole vault) - will represent Cal track & field at the NCAA Indoor Championships Friday and Saturday in College Station, Texas.

Sophomore Hammed Suleman soared to a distance of 50-2.50 in the triple jump to become the first Golden Bear to surpass 50 feet in the event in seven years, highlighting Cal's second day of competition at the season-opening Cherry & Silver Invitational.

The Oakland Relays had the nation's best triple jump marks in all-conditions for both boys and girls with Moreau Catholic senior Allita Boyd at 41'7.50" as the first girl over 41 feet this season, while Deer Valley senior Hammed Suleman at 51'2" is the first over 50 feet in the country for boys. No wind reading either to become official US #1's, but still impressive marks in the first weekend of April. Boyd, a three-sport star athlete, is the returning USATF Junior Nationals champion in the triple jump, and one of the nation's top returnees with her 43'1" wind aided mark in last June's victory at the Junior Nationals. At the Oakland Relays, Boyd also won the triple jump with a US #6 mark of 19'6.50". Suleman also had a stellar double in the jumps with 23'3.50" mark in the long jump. Suleman is ranked #8 in the nation currently in the event with his 24'1" season best last weekend at the Deer Valley Invitational.
