LHS senior wins 500M, set school record, state runner-up in 300M
Luray High School junior Azmani Jackson lead a pack of 13 Bulldogs, who all posted all-state performances at the VHSL Class 1 State Indoor Track Championships held March 4-5 at Liberty University.
Jackson took first place and became a state champion in the 500 meter dash, with a time of 1:06.4 — a new school record at LHS. The junior also finished state runner-up in the 300 meter dash (36.01 seconds), just eight one-hundreds of a second behind the state champion.
Jackson also earned a third all-state medal as a member of the sixth-place 4×400 meter relay team (3:44.72), which included Daniel Frey, Qamryn McNeal and Thomas Jarvis.

During the VHSL Class 2 Track and Field Championships in Harrisonburg on June 7, 2025, Jackson earned all-state status in two events to close out his sophomore campaign. He took third place in the 400 meter dash (50.49 seconds — just 1.48 seconds off the state champion); and seventh place in the 800 meter run (2:02.14). Jackson won the district (51.23) and the region (51.65) titles in the 400 meters.
