Eye-balling history
Every since
Logan (Union City) triple jumper Ciarra Brewer won the event as a sophomore, she' had one mark on her mind.
"Forty-five feet," she said.
A nagging hamstring problem over the next two seasons has stopped her at really even approaching that mark, which would break the national record of 44-11 set by Merrill West's Brittany Daniels.
On Friday, she took just two jumps, set a personal best and extended her national best by almost a foot with a leap of 43-2½.
"The weather was good, I felt loose so I took an extra jump," Brewer said. "I still want to hit 45-0 and I think tomorrow might be the day."
