Her mark is just shy of a lifetime best 12.97 meters, which she jumped last season in outdoor."This was definitely a highlight," said head coach Jeff Petersmeyer. "The top-five jumpers in the event today are all nationally ranked and she finished just a few spots behind them."Iloanya beat her previous season-best of 12.54 meters, which came at the Jackson's Open (12/12).The Spartans will return to the Albuquerque Convention Center in two short weeks for the Mountain West Championship (2/25-27)."This was a great meet for us to compete in," said Petersmeyer.
