Gibraltar's Fitzgerald looks for state gold

Gibraltar's Abbey Fitzgerald has a chance to bring home some major hardware from the DIvision 3 WIAA State Track Meet on Thursday.

 

Fitzgerald is seeded fourth in both the long jump and the triple jump entering the field on Thursday. There is potential she could win the triple jump if she recaptures her magic from regionals. Her jump of 37-5.5 beat the previous record set by Tamara Zak in 1989 by 16.5 inches. The top-seeded distance is 36-05 feet by Royall's Jessica Brueggeman.

 

Fitzgerald will try her hand first at long jump (17-08) when the field events open at 11 a.m. Her triple jump attempts will come 45 minutes after the boys finish their competition.
