SUMMARY: Carol broke her own American Indoor long jump record twice at the Dallas Times Invitational, setting a new mark of 22 feet 2¼ inches, becoming the first American woman to jump past 22 feet indoors. Her goal was to make the all-time indoor world list, which she achieved. While her brother Carl finished second in the 60-yard dash, Carol stole the spotlight. Despite their competitive achievements, the siblings, both children of track coaches, experience no jealousy. Carol also competed for the first time wearing glasses to correct a depth-of-field issue, a change she plans to continue.

University of Houston junior Carol Lewis sets a new American record in the women’s long jump with a leap of 22-2 1/4 on February 4, 1984 at Dallas Times Herald Invitational in Dallas.

SUMMARY: As Black Friday approaches, a small family-owned boutique, Foxy District 31 in Clear Lake, faces a delivery crisis. A crucial shipment of denim jeans, vital for holiday sales, did not arrive on Wednesday as scheduled and is currently held at a UPS distribution center just 10 miles away. UPS mistakenly marked the store as closed, preventing the delivery. The store’s owners, the Lee family, express their stress over the situation, knowing it jeopardizes their biggest shopping day. They hope the shipment will arrive by Friday morning as they prepare to open early for customers.

For many small businesses, Black Friday is the most important sales day of the year, often compared to the Super Bowl for retailers. But for Moxie District 31, a family-owned boutique in Clear Lake, a crucial misstep has added an unexpected hurdle.
