Quanesha Burks completed the USATF long jump double by winning the outdoor championship with an opening jump of 7.06 meters. The jump, in a +2.7 wind, won’t qualify as a personal best, but was more than enough to out-distance the field. Burks now has 3 USATF championships (2 indoor and this year’s outdoor).
