High jumper Jacobie is raising the bar

Piat native Jenneil Jacobie is feeling good and flying high – literally. Just 21 years old, the Corinth Secondary alumna cleared a career-best 1.87m in women's high jump last week. She set an East Texas A&M University school record and Southland Conference record, and made the Saint Lucia Athletics Association standard for this summer's Commonwealth Games. It is also the fourth-best ever by a Saint Lucian woman, behind three icons – Levern Spencer, Jeannelle Scheper and Makeba Alcide.
