ACCRA, Ghana – Oklahoma State jumper Winny Bii took home the silver medal in the Triple Jump at the 13th African Games in Accra, Ghana, on Tuesday with a leap of 13.64 meters.
The 2024 Big 12 Champion and first team All-American Triple Jumper owns both the OSU school record and Kenyan national record in the event with her personal best of 13.72 meters, set at the Eagle Elite Invitational in Boston last month. Originally, the African Games were scheduled for 2023 but were subsequently pushed back to this year, allowing Bii to compete for her native Kenya.
Bii finished the indoor season ranked fourth in the NCAA in the Triple Jump and currently sits 32nd in the world as she will attempt to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games later this year.
