T&F: Jacqueline Pokuaah Breaks School Long Jump Record at SBC Indoor Championships

[NewsCopy]

Jacqueline Pokuaah broke the Louisiana women's indoor long jump record and captured first place at the Sun Belt Conference Indoor Championships at the Birmingham CrossPlex in Birmingham, Alabama. Pokuaah jumped 20-feet, 5.75-inches in the final event of the night to break Twilet Malcolm's record from 1991 by 2.25 inches.

The Cajuns were a factor on the first of two nights of competition. Timothy Gale finished second in the men's pole vault at 16-feet, 6-inches, a personal best. Rylan Theyard's jump of 24-feet, 2.5-inches was a personal best and good enough to finish third in the men's long jump. Just behind him was Obdarius Ware in fifth with a distance of 23-feet, 8-inches.

Changed when broads started competing in it. Couldn’t be a jump just for broads.
