Maddy Hopson

Madeline Hopson came out of nowhere and demolished the triple jump record in her freshman year with a series of jumps culminating with a mark of 36 feet 5.5 inches at the San Diego CIF finals at Mt. Carmel High School on May 28th 2011.


As a sophomore she added the long jump record to her growing list of accomplishments and increased her triple jump mark to 37 feet 2.5 inches at the county Frosh/Soph meet on April 28th.

Previous record holder: Beth Wittry 33' 6"

Beth originally broke the triple jump record as a sophomore when she jumped 32' 7" on April 11th, 2002 in a dual meet with Crawford. She tied her own record several times over the next two years and finally hit her best jump at the Bronco invitational on March 11th 2004 with a leap of 33' 6".

In addition to triple jumping she ran on both relays, and ran everything from the 100 meters to the 3200. She ran the 400 in under 60 seconds and was one of the key members of the school record
4x400 relay team.
  
She's shown above practicing her step phase with coach Jack Nash.

1983-84 were great years for the girls track team; just look at the record board. Flemister was part of that group and held the triple jump record from
1984 to 2002.
