I would say as a freshman, her distances are pretty respectable. She is young, and has a lot of growing and learning to do. As she gets older, and learns more she will go further. It is important for her to practice these events using the correct technique, and developing a good approach. If she needs advice on how to increase her distances she can look at this jumping site.
Triple Jump tip - Improve the STEP part of your jump. This will help you with improving your distance. If you are currently stepping 12 feet, try to improve so that you increast to 13 or 14 feet. You will need to practice your hop and step more each day. You will need to balance yourself while maintaining your speed to continue into your jump, however first you will need to learn to increase your step. In high school I went from a 46'0 jumper to a 49'0, just by working on my steps.
