Lauren Fadeiro, a freshman from Rancocas Valley, recorded the No. 2 triple jump in Quinnipiac history Sunday at the Bucknell Bison Invitational in Lewisburg, Pa.
Fadeiro PR’d with a jump of 38-9 1/2. The only superior jumper in Quinnipiac history is Fair Lawn graduate Britney Del Mundo, who hit 39-7 at the 2022 ECAC Championships in Boston.
Fadeiro had PRs of 5-2, 18-3 3/4 and 38-7 3/4 at R.V., her triple jump PR coming when she was 2nd in the state Group 4 meet this past June in Somerset.
At Quinnipiac, she jumped 38-4 indoors when she placed 4th in the MAAC Championships at the Armory and then recorded an overall PR Sunday at Bucknell.
Fadeiro had an excellent series Sunday, with three jumps over 38 feet. After opening with a foul, she jumped 38-7 3/4 – her best jump as a collegian and tying her lifetime best – and then followed with a PR of 38-9 1/2 on her 3rd attempt. After a foul and a 36-4, she finished with another 38-footer, 38-0 1/4.
The best jump ever by a Rancocas Valley graduate is 39-6 by Kristina Tossas of Rutgers at the 2022 indoor Big Ten Championship in Geneva, Ohio.
Good for Quinnipiac for posting an all-time top-10 list on its web site, but I have never seen an all-time performance list that combines indoor and outdoor marks. Truly bizarre.
In any case, Fadeiro is also 10th in school history in the combined indoor/outdoor high jump at 5-0 1/4. She’s only long jumped in three meets at Quinnipiac, none outdoors, but she has a 17-2 1/4 PR from Ocean Breeze in February. That’s just short of the all-time Quinnipiac top-10.
Quinnipiac is an NCAA Division 1 school located between New Haven and Hartford that competes in the New England Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association.
