Message: [QUOTE="stuckinbig11, post: 5076038, member: 503"] My basketball-playing granddaughter, a high school senior, also competes in track and field. Last week, she tied for second place in the high jump at the conference meet but was bumped to fourth because she had more scratches at lower heights when she had to go across field to compete in the shotput. She beat her personal record throw by one foot and took first place in the shot. This week at the regionals, she beat her PR in the high jump by 2 inches and tied for second place but was bumped down to fifth due to scratches for hiking over to the shotput. She upped her PR in the shot by yet another foot but placed fifth by falling 3 inches short of fourth. Only 1-4 places go to the state meet, so she missed on both events. However, she is not upset because she likely would not place at the states. High jump and shotput are unusual events for the same person, but she is strong as well as agile. [/QUOTE]
