Forward Makayla Timpson of Florida State wasn’t far behind. At 6’2.5″, her reach hit 8’4″ inches, and her wingspan stretched to an impressive 6’10”. Her length could make her a defensive nightmare at the pro level.
North Carolina guard Lexi Donarski owned the jumping events. She posted a 27.5″ vertical leap and a 32.5″ approach jump. These explosive stats highlight her ability to jump above defenders. Meanwhile, Emani Jefferson clocked the fastest 3/4 sprint at 3.364 seconds. Her speed suggests she can push the pace and thrive in transition.
Madison Scott, a guard out of Ole Miss, also made her mark. She stood 6’1.25″ with an 8’4″ reach and a 6’7.5-” wingspan. But her potential came in the lane agility drill, where she posted a blazing 11.654 seconds. That quickness could help her guard multiple positions, making her a valuable asset in today’s game.
The combine, held just hours before the Women’s Final Four, gave these athletes a rare stage. Joe Abunassar, the veteran trainer behind the event, aimed to mirror the men’s combine model.
“This is the largest scale it’s ever been done,” he told SB Nation. His goal was to give players a fair shot to shine. “They’ll test their shuttle run, vertical jump — all the type of things have been tested forever on the men’s side,” he added.
For some, like Harvard’s Harmoni Turner, this was a chance to break out from smaller programs. Others, like projected first-rounder Shyanne Sellers, skipped it, likely confident in their draft stock. But for Vonleh, Timpson, and Donarski, the results speak volumes. Their numbers back up their college tape, showing they’re ready to compete.

The event mixed measurements with strength tests, interviews, and dynamic drills. Abunassar designed the basketball portion to go beyond basic shooting. He wanted scouts to see how players handle switching defenses and pick-and-roll situations. It’s a practical approach, given the WNBA Draft is just days away on April 14 in New York.
