On the wind:
“The wind was not a big factor for me at all. I just focused on my steps.”

On her goals for the Worlds:
“I’m looking for another seven meter jump. I think that can win there so I’m going to try and get out with a big jump early like I did here.”

Brianna Glenn, second place, women's long jump
