BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Freshman Jonathan Jones claimed his second win in three meets, broke his own school record and registered the eighth-best high jump mark in the nation at the Jaguar Invitational in Birmingham Sunday.
Jones cleared a height of 7-1 (2.16m) – the first Little Rock athlete to ever clear the 7-foot threshold – to win the event at the Birmingham Crossplex. It currently ranks tied for 48th in the world this year.
That event win helped propel Little Rock's men to a fourth-place finish, scoring 58 points and beating out South Alabama by 4.
