Just ten weeks after that tryout, she qualified for a state meet. She was also the only freshman to compete at the state meet that year. She was such an early phenomenon that the Los Angeles Daily News ran an article on her that summer and won two other state titles in short distances. Each year, she shaved four-tenths of a second off her 200-meter time, and broke Jones's high-school record in April of 2003 at the Mount San Antonio College Relays in Walnut, California, running the 200-meter in 22.51 seconds.
