Alex Fallon comes through in the clutch, wins triple jump at Reed invite
Alex Fallon had no intention of settling for third-place as she prepared for her final attempt in the triple jump at the Reed Sparks Rotary Invitational on Friday.
As it turned out, the Carson High junior moved to the front of the class when she soared a lifetime best distance of 35 feet, 8 inches to win the gold medal on a frigid and windy day at the Dave Nolte Northern Nevada Regional Track in Sparks. For Fallon, it marked her first victory in a major meet.
