Henderson shatters long-time triple jump record

Between the weather and the changes in quality of performances, not a whole lot stays consistent in the world of track and field.

Ja’la Henderson, however, is one of the rare consistencies that the University of Wyoming has the pleasure of calling a competitor. Henderson’s consistency is what she and her coach contribute to the major success she saw just recently in Greeley, Colorado, as she jumped 43 1/2 to break UW’s triple jump record set in 1999 by Tomeca Brown.

“She has been pretty consistent this entire season, and consistency trumps all with her,” Jumps Coach Quincy Howe said.
