Stephanie Simon takes second place in the long jump at all-state meet

Chelsea High track star Stephanie Simon captured second place in the long jump at last Saturday’s All-State Meet that was held at the Reggie Lewis Center.

Simon was in third place approaching her third and final jump of the day, but her leap of 18′-2.25″, which was five inches better than her top jump to that point, propelled her into the second spot, behind only Jada Johnson of Sharon, who had the best jump of the day at 18′-6.75″.

Stephanie had advanced to the all-states by taking first place the previous week in the Division 2 meet with a jump of 17′-9″. Thanks to her second-place finish at the all-state meet, Simon now will compete in the All-New England Meet this Saturday.

Simon also competed in the 55 meter dash on Saturday, finishing in 16th place with a clocking of 7.48 seconds. Stephanie had grabbed third place in the D-2 Meet the week before to advance to the all-states.
