She upped her Long Jump best to 5.54m (18’2½”) to collect 712 points and “put” the Shot a personal best 10.30m adding 549 points to her total. She increased her total with another 566 points after a High Jump leap of 1.45m and ended the day with an 800m run of 2 minutes, 40.98 seconds for another 562 points.

Todman’s 3181 points total, places her at #2 overall on the NJCAA 2012 list.
