Freshman Henson AQs in triple jump

After enduring a cold, windy Friday in Shoshoni, Greybull High School freshman Marlee Henson took advantage of more favorable weather conditions Saturday in Lovell where she bettered the state qualifying standard in the triple jump.
Henson’s leap of 32 feet, a personal record, was the best of the day by a 2A jumper.  The top four placers in the event were black-and-orange clad 3A competitors who hailed from Powell and Worland.  The winner went 35-5 1/2.
Henson has become the team’s top point scorer.  With her AQ in the triple jump, she’s now qualified for state in two events — the 100 meters being the other — and is close in a third.  She ran the 200 in 28.42 in Lovell, placing third.  The 2A girls qualifying standard is a 28.14.
Rounding out the scoring for the girls team were Chaise Benasky, who placed third in the 100-meter hurdles; and Julia Paul-Blazquez, who took seventh in the 100 meters.
