Great results from a couple of our youngsters in the Under 20 European Championship yesterday. Victor Morozov, upcoming sophomore from Estonia. triple jumped 16.45 meters which is the second longest jump in Illini history and also the top jump in Europe this year for his age group. Elizabeth Ndudi, incoming freshman from Ireland, long jumped 6.56 meters which would be the top mark in Illini history and also the top mark in Irish history for her age group. As great as that jump is it still pales in comparison to a jump earlier this year by incoming freshman Sophia Beckmon from Oregon who jumped 6.8 meters several weeks ago.
