2021 Is Here: The Girls Pre-Season Field Events Preview


Long Jump-
2020 All-Class Best: Riley Ammenhauser (Sr., Naperville [Neuqua Valley]) 19'5i"
Key returners: Ammenhauser, Mariam Azeez (Jr., Frankfort [Lincoln-Way East]), Alex Johnson (So., Huntley), Sydney Willits (Sr., Glenview [Glenbrook South]), Mckenna Cinotte (Sr., Downers Grove North), Ana Liese-Torian (So., Homewood-Flossmoor), Bria Armstrong (Sr., Chicago Heights [Bloom Township]), Tanaya Young (Sr., Rantoul), Delaney Seligmann (Sr., Oak Park [Fenwick])
Outlook: The long jump has been a strong event over the years and especially during the indoor portion. Triple jump ace Riley Ammenhauser leads the way after connecting on the 19-foot effort indoors and outdoors. Ammenhauser has improved her speed as well and should be in the 20-foot club this year. Mariam Azeez is one of the state's most diversified track & field athletes so it should not be a surprise that she is a member of the 19-foot club. Tanaya Young is someone who is underrated and appeared to be on her way to the top last indoor season when things were shutdown.
