The USTCA named her athlete of the week with this eye-opening weekend. GH, in the JJK thread, says we lack the top-level talent in the Hep to compete. I think Hyleas qualifies.
"Georgia senior Hyleas Fountain compiled another memorable performance at the SEC Outdoor Championships while scoring a total of 34.75 points to help lead the Bulldogs to a third place finish. Fountain, who also leads the nation with the top mark in the heptathlon, took first in the high jump at 5-09.75 (1.77m) and long jump 21-07.50 (6.59m). She was also third in the triple jump at 43-11.75 (13.40m), fourth in the 100 meter hurdles at 13.11 and sixth in the javelin with a mark of 125-09 (38.34m). Fountain also ran the third leg of the Georgia 4x100 meter relay team who finished seventh in 46.59 and the third leg of the 4x400 meter relay team who finished eighth in 3:47.00. Fountain is qualified in the 200 meters, 100 meter hurdles, 4x400 meter relay, high jump, long jump, triple jump and heptathlon at the NCAA East Regional on May 28-29 hosted by Florida."
