Kristin Herndon Grabs a 1st Place Finish for Knox Track

The entire Knox College Prairie Fire women’s basketball season was canceled last year, but the school invited North Nodaway grad Kristin Herndon, who played for them during the 2019-2020 season, to go out for the track team this year, which she did. She competed in the Triple Jump and High Jump, in which she showed improvement throughout the season.

In the High Jump, she went to the Indoor Nationals on March 13th and jumped 4’10½”. She also won at the home meet at Knox on April 24th, with a jump of 4’8¾”. She was second at the Midwest Conference meet with a jump of 4’8¾”.

In the Triple Jump, she got better every single time, improving her jump by over two feet. In the Indoor Nationals, she jumped 31’11¾”. In her home meet at Knox, she placed fourth with a jump of 33’7¼”. At Illinois College, she also placed fourth with a jump of 33’3½”. She improved her distance at the Midwest Conference meet, getting a jump of 34’¼”, good enough for third place.
