Rozario breaks 13m barrier for another national mark

Competing in the Duke Invitational on April 13, Rozario leapt 13.01m at the Morris Williams Stadium to better her national triple jump record of 12.92m set at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships in 2023.

She finished first - 0.64m ahead of Kent State's Lanee Hall (12.37m) in second.

Rozario said in a phone interview from North Carolina: "I was very excited to break the 13m barrier.
