Aranxta King finished 2nd in the Long Jump with a Personal Best leap of 6.57m during the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Going into the Long Jump event King was ranked 6th. Donna Watson Bermuda Track and Field Association President said, “King I am sure was inspired by her home town boy Evans who ran the 800m yesterday and finished 3rd”.
“What a fantastic achievement for Bermuda 2 athletes in the top 3 of all US colleges/universities in the United States. We are really in good standing for medals for NACAC U23 and CAC Games. Especially with Tyrone Smith's jump of 8.08m added to all of this”, concluded Watson.
