Girls Field

 

Girls Long Jump

Breakdown: McGhee has been consitently over that 19' mark, as well as Gordon in recent competitions, but Keturah Orji is truly the standout in the field.  However, Chyna Ries may sneak in a victory if Orji saves something for her main event, the triple.

Girls Triple Jump

Breakdown: This could be a battle.  Asa Garcia just hit 41-5.5 outdoors, and that would be US #2 indoors.  Keturah Orji is far and away the leader, battling more with national records than competition.  NY has several in contention for a medal, but the top of the stand looks reserved for Jersey.

Girls High Jump

Breakdown: Competition that looks both strong, and close, High Jump could go to anyone this year.  Only inches seperate the leaders, and one mis-step could end the competition early for the favorites.

Girls Pole Vault

Breakdown: While NY may not be competitive on the national level as it had been in years past, the competition still looks strong, as Desiree Freier cleared 14' at Millrose, and will be looking for a National Record of her own come Nationals.

Girls Shot Put

Breakdown:  We have a tie for the National Lead this year, and both are entered in the event.  NY has thrown exceptionally well this year, but can't keep up with one of the deepest years for the girls shot in recent memory.
