2017 New York Outdoor State Meet ULTIMATE Preview




Girls Long Jump

Event Info: 2016 Winner: Lanae-Tava Thomas (Rush-Henrietta Sperry) 20-4, State Record: 20-10.75, Meet Record: 20-7, State Qualifier Mark: 17-8 (D1) - 17-00 (D2)


State of the Action

Having two feet on the next athlete at the State Meet is a good indication you'll be getting the favorite status, and Lanae-Tava Thomas has had that before.  Long Jump might be her safest event, but it could also have the most at stake.  With a wind-gauge present in the jumps, she'll just have to repeat her seed to get that State Record verified.  With attempts on Friday and Saturday, it would seem the place to do it, but with multiple rounds of the 100m and 200m in the lineup as well, this could be closer than expected.

Travasia Singletary is the only D2 athlete over 18-o, but will need to repeat that to be safe atop the podium.
