Boston, MA – January 26, 2008. Lela V. Nelson was the champion in the Long Jump against Olympic and World Champion, Carolina Kluft of Sweden, at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games. Lela V. is a native of Detroit, Michigan and a graduate of Eastern Michigan University, currently residing and training in North Carolina.

“Lela V., as she is called, opened her Long Jump season with a solid win,” comments Joseph Codrington her agent. This is Lela’s first time competing at the Boston Indoor Games, which boasts a twelve-year history. Olympian Carolina Kluft was chosen to win the event, but no one told Lela V. who won the Long Jump by a 10-centimeter margin. This win qualifies Lela V. to compete at the US Indoor Nationals to be held again at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Boston where a winning jump will place her on the US team to the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Valencia, Spain.
