Bengals break records in Day 2 of Big Sky Championships
POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - Treyshon Malone put on a show inside Holt Arena Friday night.
Malone won the long jump by leaping 26' 0.25". The jump is tied for seventh-best in the nation and should get him to Nationals.
"I feel excited," Malone said. "I feel excited for the rest of the weekend. I feel excited for the rest of my events and everyone else who is competing on my team. Today I honestly wasn't expecting that. It was very quiet after that jump. After I heard it, just a whole bunch of emotions of excitement came out and I couldn't be happier. Now, I can say I'm officially going to Nationals."
His record day continued in the 60-meter dash. He smashed the school record with a time of 6.69.
Malone also set a new Big Sky Championships record in the 200-meter preliminaries at 21.07 seconds.
Tanner Connor set a school-record with a 7.83 second time in the 60-meter preliminary hurdles.
