CE’s Lela Nelson wins IAAF Challenge event in Santo Domingo
Don’t be fooled by the killer smile, Lela has the heart of a champion and the eye of the tiger as she demonstrated over the weekend in Santo Domingo as she represented the USA at the Pan American Combined Events Championships from May 31-June 1, 2008
This is part of Lela’s preparation for the USA Olympic Trials, which are now only a month away, to be held in Eugene, Oregon. Lela has the “A” standard in the Heptathlon as well as in her pet event, the Long Jump. Lela’s score of 5944 puts her in a great position to score even higher when she lines up for the grueling 2 day event at the Olympic Trials.
