DES MOINES — Jhoanmy Luque set the tone right from, literally, the jump.
The Iowa State sophomore leapt to the lead as the only long jumper at the Drake Relays to reach the 20-foot plateau.
Then in her final jump, Purdue’s Savannah Carson bested the Cyclone’s mark with Luque still having one jump remaining.
