It's a simple sport: who can jump farther? But in addition to speed and strength, some long jumpers also bring grace and beauty to the competition. The jump itself, captured here at a high school meet in Edwardsville, Illinois, is a blur, followed by an explosion, then a brief flight that ends in a sandy landing, reaching for every inch.
