Celebrating A Century of NCAA Track & Field Championships
Texas’ Turner Soared To Triple Jump Greatness
Terri Turner of Texas was a prime part of the early progress of the women’s triple jump at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
When the NCAA instituted the event for the 1984 meet in Eugene, Oregon, Turner was a logical favorite: Turner had set two world bests while winning three Texas UIL state titles while at New Caney High School (near Houston).
Turner didn’t disappoint, winning the inaugural NCAA title by nearly 3 feet with a wind-aided mark of 13.52m (44-4¼). Earlier that season she set the collegiate record (and world best) of 13.21m (43-4¼).

If you’ve paid any attention to politics recently, particularly on Twitter, you’ve heard the word “neoliberalism.” It’s used to describe so many different politicians, ideologies, and policies that it’s hard to define what it means.
But it’s important to define, because neoliberalism shapes almost everything about our lives, even how we practice meditation and that’s a problem.
My favorite definition comes from political scientist Wendy Brown, who says it’s “the expansion of markets understood as competition to every feature of life, including democracy, human social life, education, social services, and so forth.”
