Final Results (M/W)
CHARLESTON, Ill. –University of Evansville senior Trey Riggs (Ft. Branch, Ind./Gibson Southern) broke the school's indoor long jump record Saturday, and the Purple Aces set nine different personal-best marks overall, as the UE track and field teams had a strong showing at the John Craft Invitational hosted by Eastern Illinois University.
Just over an hour into UE's first indoor track meet of the season, Riggs soared to a school-record indoor mark of 6.66 meters in the long jump to place fifth in the event. He held the previous mark of 6.64 meters, set at Eastern Illinois last winter.
