It would appear as though Elmira's Cory Giroux didn't actually set a record after all in the senior boys' long jump competition.
Giroux's 6.36m jump did indeed beat the "6.18" that was listed as the record. However, it appears that somewhere a record or two got lost in the shuffle.
In fact, if we just go back a couple of years (2008) --- Jake Pearsall (Lourdes) jumped 6.81m. In 2007, Bluevale's Jeremy Yang lept 6.79m.
Backtracking even further, we see on GRCI's record books a 7.21m jump from jumping star Kenen Shadd at the '01 CWOSSA championships. I would put money that Shadd's effort is probably the current CWOSSA record.
Then again, I could be wrong.
