Tamari Davis' record breaking 11.19 in the championship 100m and IMG Academy's Beatrice Juskeviciute's heptathlon victory may have been the day two headlines at NBNO, but they weren't the only success stories by Florida athletes.

2A triple jump state champion Tony Bridges of Pine Crest was 9th in the championship division of that event with a mark of 48'03.5".
