Lex Gillette Breaks Own World Record in Long Jump

I have been negligent in taking this long to wish my friend and writing colleague (he wrote the foreword for our book!) Lex Gillette on his latest of many accomplishments.

Lex broke his own long jump world record for F11 classified (visually impaired) athletes of 6.73m (22ft. 1in.) with a leap of 6.77m (22ft. 2in.) on April 23, 2015 at a high performance meet held at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center.

Lex is based in San Diego and trains at the Chula Vista center as he prepares for the 2016 Rio Paralympics.
