Bentley Wins Long Jump at Drake Relays
4/29/2000 12:00:00 AM | Women's Track & Field
The top performance for the Maize and Blue came from Brandi Bentley's (Detroit, Mich./Marian HS) winning effort in the long jump with a leap of 20-3 (6.17m). The jump barely missed the provisional NCAA qualifying mark of 6.20m and it equaled her season's best.
The Wolverines will have a busy schedule next weekend with some athletes traveling to Palo Alto, Calif., on Friday (May 5) for the Cardinal Twilight. The rest of the squad will have double duty, competing in Toledo, Ohio, on Saturday (May 6) at the Toledo Invitational and on Sunday (May 7) at the Jesse Owens Classic in Columbus, Ohio.
