Berkeley Springs’ Mock wins long jump, upset in high jump
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Berkeley Springs’ Meghan Mock won her first individual title at this year’s state track meet Friday in what she hoped would be a steady trip to the awards stand.
But not long after winning the Class AA long jump, Mock was defeated by Sissonville’s Sydney Cummings in the high jump, thwarting Mock’s dreams of capturing four individual crowns.
That left only Buckhannon-Upshur’s Chelsea Carrier in 2007 and 2006, Valley Fayette’s Andrea Perry in 2000 and Ravenswood’s Jill Balis in 1989 as the only girls believed to win four individual events at the state meet.
‘‘It definitely would have been nice,’’ Mock said. ‘‘It happens. It’s kind of cold.’’
The chill and light rain put a damper on many performances. Mock’s winning leap of 17 feet, 5 3/4 inches was shy of the record of 17-11 she set last year in the long jump.
