Winslow graduate Cidaea’ Woods, now a Tennessee sophomore, posted a long jump PR of 21-0 at the SEC Meet earlier this month in Columbia, S.C., earning her a berth in the NCAA Eastern Regional prelims this week in Lexington, Ky.
Woods improved her PR from 20-11 3/4 from last years SEC meet to 21-0 at this year’s meet.
Her mark is No. 24 in all of NCAA Division 1 and No. 13 in the East Regional. She’ll compete in the third of four flights starting at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. The top 12 advance to nationals in Eugene.
At Winslow, Woods had a PR of 19-9 1/4 from states her junior year, so she’s already added more than a foot to that.
Woods is ranked No. 24 among all U.S. women and No. 60 in the world.
