Last week Suffolk’s reigning indoor high jump champion, Smithtown West senior Alex Ladouceur, added the county outdoor title to his laurels with a leap of six feet six inches. The highest mark achieved by other participants in the big field competing at Longwood High School was 6’ – 2” before each of the talented athletes failed at 6’ – 4”. Obviously on his game, Ladouceur cleared that level on his first attempt. The day plainly belonged to Smithtown’s undefeated high flyer who went on to achieve his personal best jump, sailing over six and a half feet by a good margin! Next on the track & field agenda is the State qualifying meet (to be held at Port Jefferson H.S.) followed by the New York Championship competition in Syracuse. A young man of few words and many accomplishments, ‘Lat’ as he’s called by his teammates, said, “After that, I hope to get to The Nationals…but first things first, I guess.”
