Joseph Jamerson, an 8th grader from Prestonsburg placed 4th in this weekend's state track meet in Louisville. He did it with a time of 15.88. If the kid keeps working hard and improving, the possibilities are endless.

Cannot wait to see this kid suit up for football, he is going to be a star at Prestonsburg, IMO, he and Bryson Williams are the next big things at Prestonsburg.
Congrats Joseph!

Jamerson really impresses me, especially for an 8th grader. Not often do you see a grade school boy do well in sprinting competition at state. For girls it happens pretty often, but not in boys. Jamerson looks like he is going to be a multi-sport star.
Watching the race, I was really impressed with his form in the hurdles. He isn't too shabby in the jumps either. I didn't get to see Dewey afterward, but I'm sure he was beaming.

My boy is a 5th grader who is 11, came out for Middle school track and won the area 7 Middle School Championship in the 100M hurdle. He also placed 2nd in the 300M hurdles, 3rd in the triple jump with a jump of 28-10, long jumps 13-6.
I can see these boys running against each other when Jamerson is a senior, Connor will be a freshman. I have followed the Jamerson kid on line and watched his results. Very impressive and I bet he is great to watch. I have looked at the pictures online, which one is he???? Send the link to a picture. I thought I saw the pictures on the milesplit page???

He played football & basketball for Adams Middle School... and if you didn't know, his older brother, Nick Jamerson was an all-state athlete at Prestonsburg in football, and now plays for Pikeville College. Joseph's grandfather played for the University of Kentucky in football, I believe during the Bear Bryant days.
I'm sure if I missed something that gish could correct me.
