FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Washington State freshman Ebba Jungmark (pronounced eh-bah yoon-mark) won the women's high jump Friday at the NCAA Div. I Indoor Track & Field Championships being held at the Randal Tyson Track Center at the University of Arkansas, in Fayetteville.

Jungmark, from Onsala, Sweden, cleared the bar at 6-feet, 2 1/4 inches (1.89m), which improved her NCAA qualifying and personal-best mark of 6-2 (1.88m), set last month in Pullman. This is the second-best women's high jump in WSU history.

"My jumping felt so good and I felt so light," Jungmark said. "I felt like this was my competition. I wanted to jump so much. I had fun. It felt good today."

Cougar head coach Rick Sloan added, "Ebba did a terrific job of competing. She was less nervous in this national championship than she was at our home meet. She was calm and relaxed and had fun. She did a marvelous job."
