Geubelle finishes third in triple jump

Friday, April 16, 2010

Following a two-week absence from practice and competition due to a minor knee injury, freshman Andrea Geubelle took third place in the triple jump at the Kansas Relays.

“For not doing the last two weeks I guess it’s pretty good,” Geubelle said. “At the same time I’m disappointed that I lost. I’ll come back in a week at Drake and see what I can do.”

Geubelle qualified for finals with the second best overall jump at 41 feet 8 inches. She then leaped 41 feet 2.9 inches on her first finals attempt. That mark put her in second place throughout most of the final flight.

Geubelle couldn’t hang on, though, as her troublesome knee led to a scratch on her second of three finals attempts.

“I collapsed on my last phase,” Geubelle said of her scratched second jump. “My knee has been bothering me for about the last week and a half. It just didn’t feel right. I didn’t really finish it.”

In the next and last round of attempts Izehi Ileso of Iowa Central flew past Geubelle’s best mark with a distance of 42 feet 4 inches. That elevated Ileso to fist place in the event and pushed Geubelle down to third.

“I thought she did really well,” sophomore jumper Jamaica Collins said of Geubelle, “but everyone is harder on themselves than everybody else. You’re your own worst critic, but I still thought she did really good.”

Before the Kansas Relays, Geubelle last competed at the Clyde Littleford Texas Relays on April 3. There she earned her career high as a Jayhawk with a jump of 42 feet 8.75 inches. With that leap she became one of just three Jayhawks to ever jump further than 42 feet.

Collins also represented Kansas in the women’s triple jump. She finished in seventh place overall with her best jump of 37 feet 9.54 inches coming on her first finals attempt.

“I did so-so,” Collins said. “I’m still working on triple. I definitely need to practice a little bit more on my phases.”
