It's different being a champion. It's a fraternity that can only be shared by those who have hoisted that glorious trophy. Last Saturday night at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA, it was Gardena Serra junior Adoree' Jackson who took home the title of CIF State Champion for the second time in 2012.

As a sophomore earlier this year, Adoree' won the CIF State Boys Long Jump title with a jump of 25' 1/2" and the closest jump didn't even clear 24 feet.
