On Sunday, the Melrose native jumped 45-5 for second place at the Savo Games in Lapinlahti, Finland, short of the 46-3 1/4 World Championships "B" standard she needs.
After opening the Finnish competition with back-to-back fouls, Smock's best jump of the day came on her third attempt of the competition.
Columbia's Catherine Ibarquen won the competition with a mark of 47-10 1/2. Find results of the competition HERE.
Smock has until August 15 to qualify for the World Championships.
Smock missed the "B" standard by a scant inch and a quarter when she won her first national title in Eugene, Oregon earlier this summer with a personal best of 46-2.
