A roar from the crowd gave Imani Skanes an idea of how good her final triple jump attempt was. The scoreboard on the northern side of the stadium confirmed she had beaten her personal record by 7 inches and taken the lead with only three jumpers left.

Ericsson has made up with teammate Colton Herta following their spat last weekend. And as for his move from powerhouse Chip Ganassi Racing to Andretti Global, where Ericsson's results have shown a sharp drop-off? Nope. Nothing to be concerned about there, either. Ericsson will try to win his second Indy 500 in three years on May 26 after last year's controversial runner-up finish.
