The Great State Meet Preview - Indoor 2017




Girls Long Jump

Event Info: 2016 Winner: Lanae-Tava Thomas (Rush-Henrietta Sperry) 19-4.75, State Record: 21-1.25, Meet Record: 21-1.25, State Qualifier Mark: 17-2

State of the Action:  You would think with such a dominating mark in the pits, that Lanae-Tava Thomas should enter the meet at ease.  But Serena Choi is capable of a big jump any moment now, and it could put pressure on the top seed.  For both athletes, it will be their secondary focus.  Thomas is the top seed in the 55m, which kicks off the meet with a trial and final.  She'll also have the 4x200m trials to cope with before the event.  For Choi, she's the top seed in the Triple Jump, which goes first in 2017.  6 jumps at least are almost guaranteed, so it could take something out of her legs.  Throw those factors together, and this could get close.
