Not just one, but two girls made history during the 11-year-old Girls High Jump at the AAU Junior Olympic Games on Friday, August 7.

Kenadie Forbes and Brandis Campbell both jumped 1.55m, passing a previous record that had stood since 2007.

Forbes was given the win in the event for clearing 1.55m on her first try, while Campbell cleared it on her second attempt. However, both girls made history in Des Moines, Iowa.
