What to Watch: 6 Athletes at UW High School Invitational

1. Jelani Heath, Governor John Rogers (Wa.) High, senior


The long jumper from Puyallop, Washington, is going to open her indoor season at Dempsey Indoor. And anything could happen. She's coming off a first-place finish at the USATF National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, where she leaped 20 feet, 1 inch. Last outdoor season, she also claimed a state title in the long jump with a leap of 19-11.5. This will be Heath's first trip to the UW HS Indoor Invitational.
