Olympian Lolo Jones not impressed by QB Manny Wilkins’ leap

Arizona State quarterback Manny Wilkins’ leap over an NAU defensive back looked cool to us.

To an Olympic hurdler, not so much.

Lolo Jones appeared in the 2012 London Olympics and finished fourth in the 100-meter hurdles. She won golds in the 60-meter hurdles at the 2008 and 2010 indoor championships, then won the 2015 NACAC 100-meter title. Safe to say, the 34-year-old track and field star knows her stuff.

Asked via Twitter on Monday to rate Wilkins’ leap in the Sun Devils’ victory this weekend, Jones gave a brutally honest assessment.

disqualified. Knocking over the hurdle with your hands is not allowed other wise I'd do it. Lol

If using your hands is wrong, we don’t want to be right. Jones is giving Wilkins grief for basically doing a mini-version of what Vince Carter did to dunk over Frederic Weis back in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Here’s a better angle to see how exactly Wilkins jumped over the NAU defender.
