This kid is special!

She walks on to the WBB team to (just to help out) and then sets a bunch of records in Track & Field.  Plus she's not too shabby in the classroom I understand.

Somebody has to find a way to significantly recognize her by the time she graduates.

Nice!  Great to see Jazmin continuing to break records.

The photo sort of looks indoor... but I guess it must be outdoor?

Still a couple of inches shy of the indoor record she set a couple of weeks ago, so perhaps we'll see the record fall again soon.

Yeah, the photo looks like something out of the file, unless St. Joe's has a newer indoor facility for their track purposes. If it was too windy outside for the high jump bar to consistently stay on the standards before jumps were attempted, then the high jump and pole vault competitions can be moved to the indoor facilities for competition to be fair. Congrats to Jazmin on these high jump records this season, considering she's been having to practice on the arena floor, so off the basketball court, not the usual high jump surface for competitions. Can't wait to see this record get close to 5'6" or higher during her remaining time in the program.
