Coming off a huge win in the triple jump at the World Youth Track and Field Trials, Carla Forbes of Newton North made the trip to France where she finished 13th in Group A and 26th overall with a mark of 12.12 meters (39'9"). “It was tough not having my coach here. I was disappointed and it was not my best effort, but the competition was fierce.”

Forbes, who is only a sophomore, ends the season ranked #2 in the country with her 42'1.5" winning effort from last week.
