On day two of the Corky Classic and Vanderbilt Invitational, Luke Brown improved his personal best, broke the school record and holds the greatest distance recorded in the country by a collegian so far this season in the triple jump with a distance of 55’1.50”. Kennedy Lightner had a time of 20.42 seconds in the men’s 200m to put him second in the UK all-time performers list.
