Freshman Danielle Watson placed second in the long jump competition at the USATF Junior National Championships in Indianapolis, IN, earning her a chance at a spot on Team USA for the PanAm Junior Games.

Watson finished in the runner-up position with a mark of 19-10.25. The first-place finisher might decide to focus solely on the hurdles, and could vacate her spot to Watson for the PanAm Games.

Also on Thursday, former Bruin Monique Henderson ran the fifth-fastest time of the day (2nd in heat two) in the first round of the 400m (51.62) in the Senior section of the meet. She will run in the semifinal round on Friday.

In the 100m, Hasani Roseby was sixth in heat one and 17th overall in a time of 11.26.

Incoming frosh and high school record holder in the triple jump Ke'Nyia Richardson opted to compete in the senior section of the meet and placed sixth overall with an impressive jump of 44-4.25.
