Watkins wins Long Jump and High Jump


Trinidad & Tobago's Rhonda Watkins, a UCLA sophomore, became the first woman in Pac-10 history to win the Long Jump and the High Jump in the same season.

The 2006 World Junior Long Jump champion won the Long Jump with a wind-aided 6.62m and the High Jump with a career-best 1.84m. And Watkins did so competing in both events simultaneously. Watkins was in such a rush that she didn’t get a chance to change from her High Jump spikes for her final attempt in the Long Jump.

When you think of who has been thru that conference in history, to do anything that is a first in conference history is amazing.  Congrats to Mike Powell and Rhonda.  Trini athletes, don't be afraid to come west - we know what we are doing.
