Priscilla Frederick Freshman High Jumper Advances to NCAA Final


Priscilla Frederick showed her steel again when advancing from the qualification round to the final 16 in the High Jump yesterday at the Des Moines NCAA finals as reported on the Red Storm Track and Field page. Priscilla made a 3rd attempt clearance of 1.77 meters (5'-9 3/4") to make the final. Her jump tied her seasonal best set in a jump off at the Tallahassee NCAA Regionals 2 weeks ago.

The outstanding performance comes on the tail of a miserable rain delayed trip to Iowa. USA Today gives some sense of the problems experienced for the teams participating in Des Moines.

Priscilla will be competing in the final on Friday.
