St Andrew High School's Jo-Anna Pinnock leaped to 12.30 metres and top spot in the JAAA Carifta Trials under-20 triple jump at the National Stadium on Sunday.

Pinnock achieved the jump on the first time of asking, her next best attempt measuring 12.16m.

The St Andrew High student was out on her own for the most part, as Petersfield High School's Tawani Murray came closest to toppling her first-round effort with a best of 11.98 metres.

Jade-Ann Smith of Excelsior High finished third with an effort measured at 11.94 metres.

Rounding out the top five places were Hydel High's Sherika Christian with a leap of 11.63m and Edwin Allen's Paula-Ann Chambers with 11.56m.
