The mark is the best in North Carolina this year, tied for 8th best of anyone high school or younger in North Carolina History under all-conditions. It would have placed Deen 3rd in the Championship section of New Balance Outdoor Nationals.
Deen would also take the win in the 80m Hurdles clocking 12.54 (-1.1) in the Finals. Deen ran 12.14 (+1.5) in the Prelims. She holds a PR in the 80m Hurdles of 11.95 and is the national leader in that event as well as the Long Jump where she's exceeded the age group national record, previously at 17-11.75.
Deen's Long Jump also exceeds the 12 Year Old World Record which stands at 19-7 (+0.0) from Kumiko Ikeda (Japan, 1993). Deen's mark wasn't measured with steel tape, so isn't official for record purposes.
