One of three Ducks that scored in multiple events in the 2002 Pac-10 Championships, two of which return (including Mary Etter). Tied for fifth all-time in Duck history in triple jump (40-2 3/4) and needs leap of 41-1 to join top three while the Ducks’ all-time best is 42-6.

1999-2000: Pac-10 Qualifier. After spending the fall and winter terms with the basketball squad, quickly shifted focus to long jump runway in the spring, and steadily progressed as year wore on.
