Ponte Vedra senior Nicole Greene has two state championships to her name. Now, she can check off national champion. Greene, a UNC signee, entered the high jump at 5'6.5" which she cleared on her first attempt. She then leaped over 5'8.5" and 5'10.5" on her first attempt before clearing a new personal best 6'0.5" to win New Balance Nationals Indoor at the famed Armory Track & Field Center in New York. The mark is a new meet record, facility record, and puts her in a three-way tie for the fifth best all-time indoors. She attempted a state record 6'1.5", but fell short before calling it quits for the night.
