Rochester, NY- The Johns Hopkins women's track and field team's Victoria Kadiri has once again captured the D3 Long Jump National Championship. It is Kadiri's second time winning the outdoor long jump championship and fourth time overall in her career. After her first jump, Kadiri sprinted down the run way and launched herself to a jump of 6.16m to capture the individual title. That jump was the fifth best performance ever in NCAA DIII history. Kadiri also had two more jumps over six-meters during the event, all of which would have earned her the championship.
