SLATE: Taishia Pryce moves atop NCAA women’s long jump ladder

K-State only won two events at the Texas Relays this weekend, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. One of them, however, was a nuclear first strike. Jamaican national Taishia Pryce, a junior transfer from NAIA school Wiley College, now holds the top 2019 NCAA outdoor women’s long jump mark.

On her second attempt of the day, Pryce became the first competitor in the event to clear the six meter mark. She blew up for a 6.60m jump on her third attempt, good enough to win the event and put her atop the college leaderboard.
