Biography

2015-16: Injuries plagued her indoor season but she returned with a vengeance during the outdoor campaign… posted a personal-best in the long jump at the Vanderbilt Opener with a third-place, 5.86m mark… missed more than two months before returning during outdoor season with a sixth-place, 5.70m mark in the long jump at the Vanderbilt Black and Gold… posted first of three third-place finishes at the Missouri State Invitational (5.73m)… placed third again at the Kentucky Relays (5.77m)… capped her season with a bronze in the long jump (season-best 5.82m) and earned a point with a 12.01m mark in her outdoor season’s lone triple jump attempt.
