Dapper tied the second-best mark in the pole vault in Cowley program history by clearing 11 feet – 11 ¾ inches. The mark helped her place third at the Friends University Spring Invitational, trailing only an unattached athlete and an NJCAA Division 1 All-American from Wichita State University.
Jallow set the Cloud County outdoor track and field record, and the Friends University Spring Invitational meet record in the 100-meter dash by running a time of 11.53 seconds. The time won the event and qualified Jallow for the NJCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track and Field Championships with the sixth-fastest time in the NJCAA this season.
