Jenna Prandini, Oregon (PB 6.55m)

Last Year: N/A Indoors, 1st Outdoors

Jenna Prandini is one of the most talented athletes in NCAA track and field. The sophomore accomplished the unfathomable feat of winning the PAC-12 track athlete and the PAC-12 field athlete of 2014 after she won the 100, 200 and long jump at the conference championships. She continued her tear at NCAAs, placing 2nd in the 200, winning the long jump, and finishing 3rd in the 100. Prandini scored a ridiculous 24 points all by herself outdoors, and will undoubtably be a huge factor indoors in 2015. 

 

Chanice Porter, Georgia (PB 6.58m)

Last Year: 2nd Indoors, 5th Outdoors

Porter has been incredibly consistent in the long jump in her two years at Georgia. As a freshman, Porter finished ninth indoors and fourteenth outdoors, and improved to second and fifth as a sophomore, respectively. The Jamaican set her PB of 6.58m at the 2012 World Jr. Championships, where she placed fourth and set a national junior record. The junior-to-be is very experienced on the big stage, and she never backs down against the toughest competition. 

 

Sydney Conley, Kansas (PB 6.35m)

Last Year: 4th Indoors, 7th Outdoors

Sydney Conley is just one of the many talented athletes in her family. Her father, Mike Sr., is the American indoor record holder in the triple jump, and he won gold at the 1992 Olympic Games. Her brother Mike Jr. is the starting point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, so you can understand where Conley’s ability in track comes from. The Kansas sophomore finished fourth indoors in 2014, and finished a solid seventh outdoors to complete her second year in Lawrence. Her experience and pedigree makes her a favorite in 2015.
