Norris Frederick of the US has confirmed his participation for the UBC Pre-Jerome Classic. Frederick  was a Pac 10 Champion and Indoor Conference Champion in the long jump while at the University of Washington. The Seattle-native also holds to his name the title of NCAA runner-up. Last year at the Harry Jerome Classic, Frederick set a new meet record of 8.10m. He holds a personal-best of 8.12m. The UBC Pre-Jerome will be good preparation for Frederick as he gets set for the USA Olympic Trials in Eugene.
