Ronner took fifth place in the triple jump on Sunday with a season-best leap of 12.80 meters, which met the NCAA provisional qualifying mark dead-on. That jump places her 34th on the national performance list in her event...

That ensures you won't jump in at just the wrong time and increases the odds of buying at rock bottom--a moment clear only in hindsight...
