Carey McLeod.
Carey McLeod’s triple jump victory was among the highlight on Saturday’s final day of the three-day SEC Indoor Championships inside the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The 22-year-old, formerly of Kingston College (KC), and now a junior at the University of Tennessee placed himself among the top-10 triple-jumping collegians in NCAA indoor history, recording a mark of 17.17m to win the men’s triple jump.
McLeod recorded the 17.17m on his sixth-round attempt. He now ranks as the No. 10 triple jump performer in collegiate indoor history.
McLeod s jump was a new school record and surpassed the 2020 Olympic qualifying standard, in addition to being the No. 1 mark in the NCAA and No. 3 in the world for the 2020-21 indoor campaign.
