The PV is another event which will bring together some of the best in the
nation.
Soph Allison Stokke (Newport Harbor, CA) tied the soph outdoor national
class record with a 13-04 clearance last week. The frosh record holder at
12-08 will come in as a strong favorite.
Lindsey Regan (Easton Area TC, Easton, PA) will be looking for the NIN title
after finishing second here last year. The very consistent performer also
earned a 4th place finish at the adidas Outdoor Championships in June.
This season she has jumped the 13-00 to claim the US #3 spot. That mark is
just shy of her PB of 13-02 set last outdoor season.
Jacquelyn Perryman (Phoenix, AZ) enters the meet as the new AZ state indoor
record holder, 12-09.5. She placed 4th at this meet last year.
Two jumpers over 13-00 could certainly push the bar to new record heights.
The meet record of 13-01.50 by Samantha Shepard (Weston, MA) in 2002 should
fall. Shepard’s could also lose her sophomore class record of 13-00.25 and
her junior class record of 13-03.50 in one day.
