Kayla improved her outdoor personal best by almost a foot, jumping 16’4.5″ in Newton’s win over Milton Thursday (results, news article).  This put her well past the 15′ 9″ state qualifying standard and adds to her previous 100m hurdle qualifier.   This mark ranks her 11th in the 12-school Bay State league.  The Milton long jump pit appears to be quite “favorable” to PRs with 10 of the 13 top league marks being logged there and all Newton jumpers hitting PRs.  Kayla’s teammate Carla leaped to the #2 triple jump in the nation at 41 8″ and a near national freshman record.
Glad to see you hit your mark again. Leaping lizards as Orphan Annie would say, but a leaping tigers.
The 41 feet can’t be right.
