Monmouth junior Ahmad Brock from Egg Harbor Township won the triple jump Saturday at the Penn Select 10 Invitational at Ocean Breezer with an indoor personal best and the No. 6 mark in Monmouth history.
Brock entered the meet with an indoor PR of 47-6 ½ from a meet last January at Ocean Breeze. On Saturday, after a 47-2 ½ on his 1st attempt he recorded a 47-10 on his 2nd. He added a 47-2 ¾ on his 4th before passing his remaining jumps. He’s now No. 4 in the CAA
Outdoors, Brock is No. 5 in Monmouth history with a 48-3 ½ from his win this past spring in the Coastal Athletic Association Conference Championships in Williamsburg, Va. He was also the conference champ indoors in Virginia Beach at 47-0 ¼ .
Brock is also No. 3 in Monmouth history at 100 meters [10.57].
Fairleigh Dickinson freshman Jashad Kersey from Eastern jumped 45-7 on his 2nd attempt and placed 4th in his 3rd collegiate meet and 2nd collegiate triple jump competition. That’s the No. 3 mark so far this year in the Northeastern Conference and best by an FDU freshman since Taeco O’Garro hit 48-9 at the 2019 NEC meet at Ocean Breeze.
Kersey’s overall PR is a 45-11, which he hit twice last winter – once at Ocean Breeze and once at the Armory.
