AVON, May 8, 2026 – Avon High junior Logan Murray set a new school record last weekend in the 300 meter hurdles at the Middletown Invitational and ran the second fastest time in school history in the 110 meter hurdles.

Murray won the 300 hurdles in a school record time of 38.87 seconds, beating East Hartford’s Jaylen Estrella (40.57) by more than a second with Pomperaug’s Kainoa Daniels finishing third in 40.93.

Murray erased the record of 39.45 set by Isaiah Adams in 2024.

In the 110 hurdles, Murray had a personal-best time of 15.01 seconds to finish third. East Hartford’s Davian Johnson won the 110 hurdles in 13.63 seconds with Estrella finishing second in 14.84 seconds.
