TIERRA COCKRELL WORLD RECORD

University Place’s eight-year-old Tierra Cockrell broke the world record for the long jump for her age group last weekend in San Diego. She jumped 13.9 1/4 (wind legal) to break the record and 14 1/4 (wind-aided) long jump which is also the world record.

She also tied the national record in the high jump with a jump of 4 feet, 2 inches.

Two weeks ago at the Phoenix Invitational in Glendale, Ariz., the young track star had tied the world record.
