Chapin alum Eireann Donohoe comes through big for Western Colorado

There will be pressure on Western Colorado jumper Eireann Donohoe, a Chapin alum, this weekend at the NCAA Division II Track and Field Championships.

That goes with the national championship stage.

As for how the freshman deals with big moments, that question was well-answered on May 8 in Grand Junction, Colorado at the Maverick Top Gun Last Chance Meet.

In what could have been the final moment of a successful inaugural season at Western Colorado, Donohoe gave herself new life with a huge personal best in the triple jump, going 40-feet 9.75-inches to spring her in the middle of the national championship field.
