[su_spacer size=”20″] June 29, 2015 — ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia true freshman Keturah Orji finished third in the triple jump at the USATF Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore., over the weekend. [su_spacer size=”20″] A native of Mount Olive, N.J., Orji traveled 45 feet, 3 ¾ inches on her fourth of six attempts to top 13 other competitors at the meet. Only adidas Garden State Track Club’s Christian Epps, who won the meet with a mark of 46-2.75, equaled Orji with three jumps that measured more than 45 feet. As her first year competing for the Bulldogs came to a close, Orji was the only collegiate competitor who finished in the top seven at the USATF meet. [su_spacer size=”40″] Orji completed her freshman campaign by winning the 2015 NCAA outdoor triple jump title. She was the national runner-up indoors and swept the 2015 Southeastern Conference indoor and outdoor crowns. In addition, Orji scored two points for Georgia in the long jump at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in mid-June.
