EAST LANSING, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University men's track and field team had representatives compete in the hammer throw and triple jump during the first day of the Spartan Invitational Friday, April 6, in East Lansing, Mich.

Eastern's best finish of the day came courtesy of junior Nick Herbert (Portage, Mich.-Portage Northern), who put together the best triple jump performance of his career, reaching a distance of 15.14m to place first in the meet. Not only does that mark a personal-record for the junior, but it also serves as the top distance in the conference this season.
