T&FN Girls Long Jump All-Americas

Carol Lewis (1978-81) and Ychlindria Spears (1999-02) are the only 4-time rankers, with Lewis is also being the only 4-time No. 1. That also makes Lewis just 1 of 3 in any event (joining Char Foster & Sydney McLaughlin in the girls 400H) to do so… 3 others can claim multiple No. 1s: 3-timers Carlette Guidry (1985–87) and Juliana Yendork (1989–91) and 2-timer Meledy Smith (’82 & ’83)…

Spears (No. 1 in ’01) is part of several All-American family ties – her aunt Carla Spears was No. 2 in ’92… Sydney Conley (No. 4 in ’12) is the daughter of Mike Conley (No. 2 in ’81 boys’ triple jump)…In stratosphere territory: Carol Lewis’s brother (Carl) also ranked No. 1 in ’79, making them the first sister/brother combo to rank No. 1 in the same year… No. 2 that year (as well as ’80) was Jackie Joyner, who never ranked No. 1 in any other event. Brother Al never ranked at all but likewise went on to Olympic gold.
