At the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, a K-State athlete broke a 30-year old record. Akela Jones, competing in only her second outdoor collegiate heptathlon, set a new first day record by earning 4,023 points in the first four events and building a 219-point lead over her nearest opponent, defending champion Kendell Williams (Georgia). The previous record belonged to three-time Olympics gold medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
