Long Jump – We had a special result In the long jump on Saturday. Mackayla Culvenor (WEN) had a HUGE jump on her second attempt jumping 6.46 scoring the highest points we have seen this season, 537. HOWEVER, this jump had an illegal jump of 3.0. Even then if it had of been legal it still would have been a very far jump.
