Girls Long Jump
1. Kate Hall (Lake Region, ME - Sr.) - The Iowa State recruit jumped U.S. No. 4 All-Time with a mark of 20-11.25 to win New Balance Nationals Indoor. She finished third at the 2014 outdoor nationals and is a consistent All-American performer in not just the long jump, but the dashes as well. Her best this season is 19-8.5, to rank All-Conditions US #20.
2. Courtney Corrin (Harvard Westlake, CA - Jr.) - U.S. No. 1 ranked Corrin has jumped a wind-legal 20-8.5 this season, which is her best since setting the National Freshman Class Record of 21-0 in 2013. She has finished runner-up at the past two New Balance Nationals. With a thus far undefeated outdoor season, Corrin will look to take back the California state title after finishing second last year.
3. Kiara Williams (Homewood, AL - Sr.) - The 13-time Alabama State Champion ranks US #2 this season with her 20-5.25 jump. That PR leap, along with her 6A-Section 3 win of 19-8.25, mark her best jumps since 2013.
4. Nicole Greene (Ponte Vedra, FL - Sr.) - The versatile Greene recorded an All-American finish (sixth, 18-11.75) at New Balance Nationals Indoor while also winning the high jump title. The UNC-Chapel Hill-bound star recently recorded her first-ever leap over 20 feet en route to winning the Florida state meet. Even with a wind reading of 2.3, her 20-5 leap must still be considered worthy of All-American consideration.
5. Margaux Jones (Redlands, CA - Sr.) - With only two competitions under her belt this outdoor season, Jones already ranks US #4 with a season-best 20-4 jump. That is just off her PR of 20-5.5. Jones upset Corrin at the California State Meet last year, can she do it again?
6. Sydnei Murphy (Apex, NC - Sr.) - The Duke-bound multi-event star recorded her first-ever 20-foot jump with a 20-3 mark to win her eighth North Carolina state title. The four-time All-American in the long and triple jumps finished fourth and third at the past two editions of New Balance Nationals.
7. Tara Davis (Agoura, CA - So) - The jet-setting sophomore completed one of the nation's most impressive doubles in March, when she jumped a non-FAT 20-4 to win her home dual meet in California before hopping on a plane to Austin, Texas for the Texas Relays. She finished runner-up at that meet, with a wind-legal 19-7 to rank US #11.
8. Daloria Boone (Baldwin, GA) - Boone is the top-ranked freshman in the nation and tied for US #7 overall with a wind-legal season-best jump of 19-10 to win the Georgia state championship. She won the Taco Bell Classic with an All-Conditions PR of 20-4.
9. Taylor DeLoach (St. Vincent's Academy, GA - Jr.) - The six-time Georgia State Champion ranks US #6 this year with a season-best jump of 19-11.5. She jumped a PR 20-1 last year and won her first All-American honors at New Balance Nationals Indoor with a seventh place finish.
10. Samiyah Samuels (Cypress Springs, TX - Jr.) - The Texas Relays champion has enjoyed a nearly undefeated season with the Texas state meet on the horizon this weekend. She ranks US #9 on the outdoor leaderboard, with a 19-9.5. She jumped 19-11.5 with a 3.0 tailwind to win the Texas Southern Relays.
