RE: 2021 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships
The key (obviously) for Michelle today is to get a solid jump early to make the cut (top 9) to get to finals for 3 additional attempts. It just takes one - and 6 attempts double the odds.

It won't be easy, since Michelle enters the competition at #12 on the NCAA list (all 11 ahead of her also made it to Eugene).

Yay, no foul right away (and a great jump too!). Windy so it's not a new school record.

What does SB next to her results mean?

Season's best
Now it says PB (personal best, or lifetime best)

RE: 2021 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships
SB = season best
PB = personal best
has to be under 2.0 meters wind to count as a best
14 meters is massive. The Olympic standard is 14.32 (I think that might have to be legal?). I think she would be in the all-time top 15 on the men's list now too at Rice. That's to qualify to compete in the Olympics. She's already qualified for the Olympic Trials.

RE: 2021 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships
Looks like she'll be 2nd heading into the final 3 jumps (behind the Texas Tech jumper who went 14.19 meters in the third round). It appears the jumpers currently in 3rd, 4th and 7th have season bests further than Fokam, but the Florida State jumper hasn't been close to the board today (she's the one currently in 7th).

RE: 2021 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships
Amazing series for Fokam - best 3 legal jumps of her life. I still think she has to worry about the three jumpers right behind her in the final round, but I doubt any one else can pass her. And she can still win this if she puts together the jump of her life as her final collegiate jump.

Another good one - 13.69 (44' 11"). She's going to be on the podium - 3rd place - our 3rd First Team All American.
