Rutgers junior A’nan Bridgett earned First Team All-American honors on Wednesday night after finishing sixth in the Long Jump Final at the 2022 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Bridgett posted a career best non-wind aided leap of 25 feet and 9.25 inches (7.85m) in his second appearance at the Outdoor Championships. He jumped almost a foot farther than last year at historic Hayward Field when he finished in 12th place and earned Second Team All-America honors. His best jump came on his second attempt and he cleared 25 feet on five of his six attempts overall. The single best distance for each long jumper is what is logged as the final result.
