Jamaica jumper Lamara Distin took top spot at the Southeastern Conference Championships, on Friday, adding to an already impressive run of results this season.
Distin, who has broken the national long jump record several times in the last several months, kept her concentration to dominate the field after a six-hour weather delay. Eventually, the Texas A&M athlete posted an event-winning mark of 1.95m to complete the SEC indoor and outdoor high jump title sweep.
The athlete finished ahead of South Carolina’s Rachel Glenn who recorded a best of 1.86m and LSU’s Nyagoa Bayak who finished third with 1.86m on the countback. The in-form Distin also had three attempts at 1.99m but failed to clear the bar.
