LONG BEACH, Calif. – Our spotlights continue in advance of the 2026 induction class for the Long Beach State Athletics Hall of Fame as we take a look at Sherron Walker of Track and Field.
Sherron Walker, nearly 50 years later, is still the Long Beach State record holder in the long jump with a mark of 21 feet set during the 1978 season.
