Triple Jump
“One of the most consistent performers in Louisiana history, Scott achieved a career goal by finally surpassing 40 feet in the triple jump, challenging a 21-year-old state record in the process. She rebounded from a runner-up finish in the triple jump at the indoor state meet to sweep both titles outdoors and conclude her career with eight individual championships.”

Athletic Excellence

An eight-time state champion and four-time runner-up, the 5-foot-5 senior won both the long jump and the triple jump at the Class 5A state meet, helping the Griffins finish 7th as a team. Scott soared 18-6 in the long jump (her career-best is a foot further) and launched herself a personal-best 40-1.25 in the triple, which was the best effort by a prep girl in Louisiana this spring and ranked as the nation’s No. 47 wind-legal leap in 2018. She triple-jumped an indoor personal-best 38-5 to take silver at the New Balance Nationals Indoor in March.
