In the world of track and field, few accomplishments are as impressive as breaking into the record books. For Homestead junior Anisa Barnett, the Lancer Invite on April 26th was a defining moment. With a breathtaking jump of 39 feet 7.25 inches, Barnett secured her place in the record books in Wisconsin.
With her jump of 39' 7.25", Barnett PR'd by 9 inches over her best outdoor mark and 8 inches over her best indoor mark, breaking that 39 foot barrier in the process. By breaking that barrier, Barnett shot all the way up from 16th all-time with her mark of 38' 10.25" to 10th all-time with her new PR.
