 It took a leap of faith and a strong dose of peer pressure for BU triple jumper David Aldo Adara to join his high school track team I was actually going to get on the bus to go home And those two friends that I talked to literally dragged me to track practice was a track try outs And that's how I got started Now the 2016 Patriot League champ in the long and triple jump events has his name in the BU history books I looked the record board I always looked at the record board coming in and I thought to myself I could do that That moment came in February when he smashed the 31 year old indoor triple jump record I've come to realize that some of my best jumps are just when I just get on the runway Just jump and not think and let everything I've done just come out and that's what happened He's extremely talented. He's very calm and he makes adjustments very quickly David's success story reminds his teammates that there's always room for growth to see him come out and like break a record But just being consistent and being persistent It just gave me like that hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel With the outdoor track season just beginning David now hopes to break the outdoor triple jump record But there is a bigger Olympic size dream on his mind Another thing down the line is to see if I can jump for Nigeria in the Olympics So that would be pretty amazing Ultimately nothing is more important to David than his relationship with God who joins him for each and every leap he takes in his life It is God that guards me with strength that makes my way perfect He makes my feet like hind feet like a deer's feet and he sets me upon my high places
