Gaithersburg Track Star Goes Division I

Former Gaithersburg High School track star Kaifa Boyce will continue his career at St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Md., according to a report by The Gazette.

Boyce was a state champion in the triple jump his senior year and chose the Mounties over the University of Maryland, St. Francis and High Point, according to the report.

“The Mount seemed pretty nice,” Boyce told The Gazette. “I know the jumpers coming in with me so that helped. [The Mount] gave me a decent offer so it seemed like a pretty good option and it’s not too far from home.”
