Senior Jessica Matthews (Monroe, Ga.) continued a tremendous career as she lit it up in three indoor track & field meets in the February. Over the course of those meets, she would earn three NCAA Division II Provisional marks.
 
At the Tiger Indoor Invitational, she placed 1-of-9 in the triple jump (11.84m) for her first provisional and added a 4-of-15 performance in the long jump (5.11m). It would be at the Division I Vanderbilt Music City Challenge that she would truly shine, however.
 
In Nashville, she went 11-of-22 in the triple against an entirely DI field, breaking her own school record with a distance of 12.16-meters. That would also be her second provisional. She would wrap the month with another victory, this time at the UCS Invitational. She would place 1-of-16 with a distance of 11.91-meters for her third provisional distance in as many meets.
