SUPPORT » important for him and his family and his son for him to be there,

EUGENE, Ore. -- Carl Lewis has said recently that the long jump is now the worst event in track and field, but he wouldnt have found a lot of support from the long jumpers at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials Saturday. Especially regarding the women.The womens side is better now than it used to be, Tianna Bartoletta said. Its not the days of Jackie Joyner-Kersee, but were getting back there. Brittney Reese jumped great today. Its going to change. Everyones expectations of what theyre capable of is going up.Not only did Reese jump great, she surpassed the U.S. Olympic trials mark Joyner-Kersee set back at the 1988 trials. The 2012 Olympic gold medalist leaped 7.31 meters, or 23 feet, 11? inches, to win Saturday and qualify for Rio. Thats still nearly nine inches short of the world record, but it was the longest jump in 12 years and Reeses personal best.Im just honored, Reese said. I look up to [Joyner-Kersee] -- shes a mentor to me. Just to have her in my corner and to break records of hers. She just told me that I have a lot more left in me, and I feel like I agree with her. To break records that shes broken is just a testament to my training.Bartoletta, who won the title at the 2015 world championships, finished second with a leap of 7.02 even though she also had to compete in Saturdays 100-meter qualifiers (she advanced to Sundays semis). Janay DeLoach finished third to complete the long jump trio the U.S. will send to Rio.The womens world record of 7.52 was set by Galina Chistyakova in 1988, with Joyner-Kersee posting the second-best mark of 7.49 in 1994. Reese won in London with a leap of 7.12. She bettered that leap by seven inches Saturday. Can she come close to the world mark?Everything has to be in place to break that world record, Reese said. I know thats pretty far, but Im proud of where Im at. It might not come this year, but I feel like if I stay on the track I am now, by next year it might be a little easier.Buffalo Bills receiver Marquise Goodwin competed in the long jump at the 2012 Olympics and will try to qualify for Rio in Sundays mens finals. Goodwin said he doesnt take Lewis view of the long jump personally.I think Im pretty damn good at what I do, he said. But all respect to him. Hes an older guy and hes definitely done a lot for this sport and you can never take that away from him. People are allowed to say whatever they want. Thats just how he feels. Its just an opinion of his. It doesnt make or break the sport.Reese says she doesnt agree with Lewis, either.A lot of the people I train with -- Will Claye, Michael Hartfield -- theyre jumping and Im impressed at what theyre doing, she said. I feel like theyre going to prove him wrong tomorrow [at the trial finals].And the womens side is strong. The U.S. can sweep it in Rio. Tianna is the reigning champion from last year. Janay came through. Were there. We just have to go in and do our thing. Jordan Henderson Jersey .
