Winslow and Iowa graduate Tionna Tobias recorded her best long jump in a year and a half Friday in Fayetteville with a 20-11 ½ on her 1st attempt at the Tyson Invitational.
That’s No. 14 in the U.S. this year. She jumped 20-10 in her one previous meet this year, last month in Boston. Tobias, competing unattached Friday, jumped again 20-10 on her 2nd attempt Friday.
The 20-11 ½ is Tobias’s best jump since her breakthrough 22-9 ¼ at the Holloway Pro Classic at Percy Beard Track in Gainesville in July 2024. That’s No. 22 in U.S. history. It’s the 4th-best jump of her life.
