By George, another triple jump win for Fallon
MINDEN -- Carson High's Alex Fallon continued to show consistency in the triple jump as she picked up a gold medal during the Big George Invitational track and field meet on Saturday.
Fallon jumped 36 feet, 8 inches on her final attempt -- just six inches off the school record she set one week before in winning at Carson's Capital Classic -- as the junior outdistanced McQueen's Celina Whitfield (36-1) for first-place at the Douglas High meet. Fallon, who also posted a big win at the Reed Invitational earlier this month, ranks as the best statewide among 4A jumpers with her best of 37-2-1/2.
