UAA Honors Jasmine Williams With Outdoor Track & Field Award

From Washington University Athletics

Washington University in St. Louis senior Jasmine Williams was selected as the 2014 University Athletic Association (UAA) Women's Outdoor Track & Field Most Outstanding Performer in the field events.

Williams, who was also the UAA Indoor Most Outstanding Performer in the field events this season, swept the conference titles in the women's high jump and long jump, while finishing fifth in the triple jump and eighth in the 100. She cleared a height of 1.63 meters to win the high jump championship for the second year in a row. In the long jump, Williams missed her career-best by just four centimeters, winning the event on her final attempt of the competition with a mark of 5.54m.

She added a fifth-place finish in the triple jump with a leap of 10.67m in her first time competing in the event. Williams also placed eighth in the 100 for the Washington U. women who won the team title for the first time since 2009. She is the first women's athlete in school history to earn UAA Outstanding Performer honors for both indoor and outdoor in the same year.
