SEATTLE – Washington athletes posted six new marks in the top-10 lists during a long day of competition at both the Mt. SAC Relays and the Bryan Clay Invitational in Southern California. The jumps squad accounted for half of those with personal bests in the high jump from Leland Lieberg, and the triple jump from Trevontay Smith and Roman Hutchinson.

Mt. SAC Relays Recap

The Husky sprinters, jumpers, and throwers did their work at Hilmer Lodge Stadium in Walnut, California today, on the third day of the Mt. SAC Relays.

One of the day's big moments was senior Leland Lieberg joining the seven-foot club, a huge mark for any high jumper. He got over 7-0 1/4 on a third attempt to finally join that rarefied air. That mark ties Lieberg for 10th in school history.

The Jump. The Reaction. ????
