Subscriber only STATE recordbreaker Annie McGuire had an added reason to be satisfied with her latest athletic achievement. Apart from being a massive personal best, McGuire s under-20 long jump feat provided a timely reward for her dedication - especially due to COVID-enforced training challenges. The Ipswich-based competitor set the Queensland record of 6.49m at the recent Benita Willis meet at QSAC. The 19-year-old also jumped 6.52m but that was ruled wind assisted. Those outstanding efforts smashed her previous best leap of 6.39m two weeks earlier after her best jump was 6.30m last season. The incredible improvement came after she recently finished her second year Bachelor of Psychological Science studies course at Griffith University.
