Baton Rouge, La. – For the second time in as many weeks, LSU jumper JuVaughn Harrison has been named the SEC Field Athlete of the Week.
Harrison went up and over a bar of 7' 6.50" (2.30 meters) in the high jump Saturday at the LSU Invitational. The mark broke Tom Lange's previous LSU school record that had stood since 1990 and it moved JuVaughn into the national lead. Harrison also owns the national lead in the long jump with a mark of 27' 8.25" (8.44 meters) that he registered at the LSU Alumni Gold on April 24.
