FIELD EVENTS

See the full list here: Top 10 Girls Returners - Field Events


JUMPS

High Jump

Carrie Moore - Manchester Valley

Last indoor season, Moore tied for the highest mark (her indoor PR is 5-0) in the high jump event for a Maryland girl. Now a junior, she could possibly continue her winning streak and remain as one of the best jumpers in Maryland this season.

Cherry tied with Moore last season for the number one spot, also making 5-0. It seems like it could be a battle between Cherry and Moore for who will be the best Maryland girls' high jumper. 


Long Jump

Evans is ranked as our number one girl for long jump and she's got a lead; Evans is the only girls' returner to reach the 17 and 18 mark. Last indoor season, she was the second-best at long jump and seventh-best for triple jump. Now, she could be the top girls' long jumper and is currently ranked second in the state for triple jump.

THROWS

Shot Put

Trinity Franklin - Bullis

(Hear from Trinity Franklin about her performance at New Balance Nationals)

Franklin is by far the best shot putter in Maryland and is a national contender. She has been the top female shot-put athlete for two years in a row and she could make it three this season. To add, last indoor season, she was ranked 5th in the nation. 

Niya Crawford - Elizabeth Seton

Crawford ranks second behind Franklin for the shot put event. Crawford scored 37-7.25 at the VA Showcase earlier this year to take the second spot. 


VAULTS

Pole Vault

Elisa Ramos - Gov. Thomas Johnson 

Ramos is our top returner for pole vault after being the only girl to reach both 8-0 and 9-0. Last indoor season, as a sophomore, she was third in the state. Now, she's ranked first. 

Hannah Estep - Brunswick

Estep trails behind Ramos, taking the second-ranked spot. Estep was fifth in the state last indoor season. Since then, she's moved up three spots.
