i got the perfect one for you:
Pole Vaulting
Its not really jumping, you just need good upper body strength and itll make up for white man's disease. And the running part is not about speed

Shot put, discus, pole vault, javelin at the college level, or hurdles XD or you can keep training til you improve on your bad events.

You could try Javellin or pole vault or maybe you could even try high jump, seeing as though you already have the height advantage.
If you keep training and put your heart into it you can do anything !

Try the Discus since you are strong.

Tall, long arms? You should try the discus.

Do you enjoy it? If so, then I wouldn't worry too much about it. Practice is always helpful. You have to build up endurance with running.

Shot put, discus, and possibly try pole vault if you are comfortable with it.
