Only a handful of track and field athletes can boast of having a similar mastery in the multiple branches of the sports. Well, the great Carl Lewis used to grace the category. With nine Olympic medals in the cabinet, the American legend once reigned supreme in sports like sprinting and long jump. However, since his retirement in the 1990s, the number of such versatile athletes has come to a standstill. But fret not! Anthaya Charlton might bring a few changes to the present scenario. How?
On January 31, Anthaya Charlton took a massive jump at the Razorback Invitational. It was her first attempt this season and Charlton converted it to her stepping stone to reach fame. And what was her process? In the Invitational, the 21-year-old made a humongous 6.98-meter jump, shattering the Bahamian national record in the event. Additionally, the mark stood as the second in the all-time list of the women’s NCAA indoor high jump.
6.98m!!
