RESULTS: 2022 MHSAA 4A Track and Field Championships
She has an outdoor PR of 18-8.5, which she has now matched, and she holds a high jump PR of 5-8 from the 2022 Mississippi Meet of Champions.
With only two meets under her belt this indoor season, Heidi Hudson has equaled her outdoor PRs and proven she is ready to do nothing short of dominate. The sky is the limit for her, and with her continuation of fantastic form, more Miss. state records are on the precipice of collapse.
