Teen printer Jaeland Cummings comes to the Jerome Indoor Games on Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval looking to build on perfection a year ago.
As a Grade 8 student at Notre Dame Regional Secondary School, Cummings won the BC High School sprints for that division.
Her success continued in the summer by winning the 100m and 200m at the U16 National Championships in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. She was also named the outstanding female performer.
Cummings has a personal bests of 8.54 seconds in the indoor 60m and bests of 12.49-100m and 25.34-200m outdoors.
The Jerome Indoor Games, now in it's 10th year, has very strong meet records.
The U18 60m meet mark of 7.84 seconds was set by Jasneet Nijjar, now a frosh at Washington State University. Jessica Williams, a duo sport athlete at UBC, holds the U18 300m meet record of 41.83.
Cummings will face competition in the U18 division 60m Saturday from Estella Mainella of the Vancouver Thunderbirds who enters with a best time of 7.93.
