Osceola's Elletta Uddin doubles at state: a 100-hurdle meet record and a long-jump title defense
LA CROSSE — Elletta Uddin left the WIAA State Championships with two titles and a record that wasn't there when she arrived.
Elletta Uddin of Osceola won the Division 2 girls' 100-meter hurdles in 13.44 — a meet record — and added the long-jump title at 19-1, a two-event sweep across the weekend. In the hurdles she beat runner-up Selci Sirrell (14.29) by nearly nine tenths of a second; in the long jump she cleared the field over Grace Krejci's 18-6¼.
The hurdles record was the product of a season-long descent. Uddin opened May around 14.6, dropped to 13.96 at her own Osceola Open, ran 13.77 at the sectional, and then took it all the way to 13.44 in the state final — the fastest of her life on the biggest stage.
The long jump was a defense: Uddin won the Division 2 long-jump title a year ago at 18-5¾, and came back to win it again, this time reaching 19 feet. Two events, two gold medals, and a meet record — Osceola's Uddin had the kind of weekend that defines a career.
