Prize Recruit — C.J. McBride (Campbell)
by Jeff Hollobaugh
“HE’S A DIFFERENT CAT, MAN,” is how Campbell jumps coach T.J. Harris describes C.J. McBride (Apex, North Carolina), the year’s No. 2 HS All-America in the high jump. “He has a different kind of personality. And his athleticism—his ability to recover—like an elite athlete, there’s not a lot that breaks him down to the point where he’s like, ‘Gosh coach, I can’t recover from that.’
“Sometimes that’s hard to see with athletes his age because of the decisions that 18- and 19-year-old kids make nutritionally and in those kinds of things. But whatever the reason, he recovers quickly and he’s always ready for the next challenge.”
For his part, McBride is all business. A straight talker who is majoring in Mechanical Engineering, he doesn’t waste words. He says he was a bit frustrated with his ’19 season, successful as it was. “Indoor was mediocre,” he analyzes. He had a best of only 6-9 after having produced a 7-2½ to win the USATF Junior Olympic title as a junior, his disappointment might be understandable.
“Outdoors, I felt a lot better about it and I’m glad I got to experience the things I did experience,” he says. “He won his State Meet at 7-1 (“I was kind of getting tired of jumping 7-0”) placed 2nd at USATF Juniors and won a silver medal at the Pan-Am Juniors in Costa Rica. The medal came despite the absence of his lucky socks, which did not make the USATF uniform cut.
The Pan-Ams wasn’t his first international championship. The previous fall he was selected to compete in the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he cleared only 6-8 in the cool, breezy conditions, landing far from the podium.
On why he chose Campbell University, a Big South school in Buies Creek, North Carolina, population 3000: “I like the environment and coach Harris. When I heard him talk, I was like, ‘I see him being a future coach for me’. But on top of that, it looked like a good place to go for my academics.”
McBride and Harris are already hard at work, focusing on refining his technique so he can compete at the Div. I level. “My running form and my takeoff are the two biggest things,” says McBride.
Harris says McBride’s technique is already “pretty solid. I take the approach of keeping it simple. As with every freshman, we’re working on their general mechanical understanding of how to move. He’s gotten better [with] his understanding of acceleration and run mechanics and those kind of things. That in itself will make him a better all-around jumper. It will definitely translate over to the high jump.”
McBride dabbled in the horizontal jumps in high school, with bests of 22-0 and 47-3¼. He says, “I’ll definitely do triple jump and we’re going to work on getting my long jump there too.”
Harris says he wouldn’t be surprised if McBride jumps far enough to score in the Conference. “It wouldn’t shock me. But obviously speed is key in the horizontal jumps. We’re just going to continue developing his speed. He’s pretty strong and really, really athletic. It’s like he’s equivalent to a guy on the basketball court that you know is going to jump over everybody. That’s what type of athleticism he has.”
For now, McBride is just hoping he can make it to the Nationals in his specialty. And he’s enjoying the ride: “It’s got a nice feeling to it when I’m in the air.”
