The reigning Great Midwest indoor high jump champion, Branney is raising the bar that much higher as a sophomore with the competition gunning for her top height.
This weekend at the Tiffin Dragon Grand Prix, Branney’s conference record was matched by Ohio Dominican’s Megan Tamasovich at the GVSU Big Meet with 1.68 meters cleared.
But Branney had a new PR of 1.70m (5’ 7”) on her seventh and final attempt in the high jump to split a tie for the conference all-time best standard with Tamasovich.
She provisionally qualified for nationals and is currently tied for ninth in all of NCAA Division II on the national qualifying list.
