Girls Long Jump

What a long jump duel it was between seniors Emily Mitchell (York) & Carley O'Brien (Traip). In the prelims Mitchell the #1 seed took the lead on her 3rd jump getting out to 16-10 1/4, while O'Brien popped 16-5 3/4 on her 2nd jump to secure her spot in the finals. O'Brien put the pressure on with her 2nd jump in the finals taking the lead with a 16-10 3/4 leap, she continued to apply the pressure on her last jump as she set a huge personal best leaping out to 17-6, for a new state record. Mitchell had the last jump, so with all the pressure on she hit the board and came down with a new state record, and winning leap of 17-6 1/2! Talk about coming through with the game on the line.
