The girls triple jump will feature a battle between U.S. No. 4 Chinne Okoronkwo from Washington and Sydnei Murphy from North Carolina. The two met indoors at NBN with Chinne finishing third behind Murphy in second. Murphy finished second at NBNO last year as well . Will this be the year she can finally get that victory in the triple? Chinne won't let her have it easy though.
The competition is expected to be close in this one as several of the girls are within a foot of each other. There are a few girls on the verge of jumping over 40 feet who have a good chance of doing so in this nationals setting. Expect some far jumps in this one.
