Mooresville standout a natural talent

Of all the things Jamel Allison can do on the track, the most impressive feats might be the ones the general public never sees.

Known primarily as a premier athlete in the triple jump, Allison routinely puts on a show when the Blue Devils practice.

“He’s crazy with all the athletic ability he has,” Mooresville coach Michael Serefine said. “He can go out and pick up any event and within probably 30 minutes, he can pretty much do that event.  He came out and pole vaulted one day just messing around and was clearing 9 feet. He can throw the shot put 35, 40 feet. It’s just raw talent.”
