News: CE’S Lela Nelson defeats Olympic Champion at Boston Indoor Games

Lela V. Nelson opened her long jump season with a solid win against Olympic Champion Carolina Kluft of Sweden at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games tonight. The sell-out crowd was enthusiastic as Carolina prepared for each of her jumps and large sections of the crowd were promised special gifts if she broke the record during her jumps. Meanwhile, Lela focused on the excellent preparation and fall training she had from her coach, Scott Hall, and executed the things she worked on in practice, producing her best indoor mark ever and taking the victory. Lela V was so focused that she was unaware that she had won the competition at first.
