Geubelle returns to Kansas and wins triple jump at Kansas Relays...

LAWRENCE, Kansas—2016 US Olympian and University Place resident Andrea Geubelle (above/photo courtesy University of Kansas) won the triple jump at the Kansas Relays Friday at Rock Chalk Park.

Geubelle rode a 4.4 meter-per-second wind and jumped 45-0.5 (13.73m) in the fifth round of jumps in her competitive return to her alma mater to easily win the competition, in a mark that would have tied for the seventh best in the world this season, had the wind been under 2.0 meters per second.

Results from the Kansas Relays are available here.
