CLIFTON PARK -- Troy High School's Travon Jackson picked a good time to give the pentathlon another shot.

The Flying Horses junior placed first in four of five events and scored 3,268 points to win the pentathlon at the Section II Class A boys track and field championships at Shenendehowa High School.

Jackson placed first in the 110 meter hurdles, high jump, long jump and 1500 meters in his first attempt at the pentathlon this season.

"It was a good day," Jackson said after gutting a win in the 1500 meters, the final event of the day.
