🔼 High Five! What a historic run for OSU great Jacob Fincham-Dukes.

On Tuesday, he wrapped up his stay at the 2024 Olympics by posting the best-ever finish for a former Cowboy in an individual event at the Olympics.

Fincham-Dukes made the final with the final jump of the qualifying round at 7.96 meters. In the final, He equaled that mark on his first attempt before launching his competition-best 8.14 meters on his second try. That mark was good enough to secure his top 5 finish for Great Britain after entering the Olympics ranked No. 20 in the world.
