A Landing That’ll Leave A Mark
Long jumping isn’t what we’d call a flashy sport, but it’s a sport nonetheless. These women aren’t concerned with making a safe landing; rather, they are concerned with how far they can propel their bodies. That drive results in photos like this one, in which Sarah McCarthy has a jarring landing that is sure to leave a lasting impression on the viewer. The good news is that long jumping does not have a style point system. Because of this, even though she lands in a more awkward position than she would have preferred, she will not lose any points for landing on her behind.
HELP!
The expression on this person’s face says it all. Nicole Cardano-Hillary was not prepared to receive the ball when it was thrown her way. Being double teamed by Michigan’s defense immediately exacerbated the situation further. Clearly, she is crying out for assistance, and we hope she has gotten it! Depending on how the final score was calculated, she may have done so. Indiana was able to pull out a 70-65 victory over Michigan, ensuring that this is a memory that her teammates will not soon forget.
