Russell Robinson Sets New School Record for Triple Jump; First Alert: June 8, 2024
After successful Day Two at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore., Miami impressed once again on Saturday.
Junior Kennedy Sauder got things started for the Hurricanes as his 2.12-meter height was good for 15th place in the men's high jump 15th place.
Later on, senior Milton Ingraham's 59.74-meter (196 feet) throw in the men's discus earned him a seventh-place finish, which also earned him First Team All-American Honors.
However, senior Russell Robinson was perhaps the biggest Hurricane standout on Friday, as his 17.13-meter (56 feet, 2.5 inches) mark in the men's triple jump was not only the second-best among all competitors, which earned him First Team All-American Honors, but it set a new school record.
Overall, the Miami men’s team finished tenth overall with 22 points at this year’s national championships — establishing the team’s highest finish and most points scored in program history.
