Senior Allan Hamilton jumped 24 feet, 9 ½ inches (or 7.55 meters) this past weekend at the Cherry & Silver Invitational. The leap was not only the best collegiate jump at the invite, but was also enough to garner the MW Men’s Indoor Field Athlete of the Week.
Accroding to a UNM release, the jump ranks him 19th in the nation and is best in the Mountain West by over six inches.
Though the senior has taken two outdoor athlete of the week accolades a season ago, it is the first indoor honor the long jumps/sprints athletes will be able to place on his mantle.
