Daniel Givens of Ocean City, a Lehigh senior, hit a big triple jump PR of 47-4 ¼ Saturday in Princeton.
Givens placed 3rd at the Sam Howell Invitational at Weaver Stadium, eclipsing his previous PR of 46-0 ½ from a dual meet last April in Easton. Givens’ 47-4 ¼ was aided by a 2.2 meters-per-second wind, so not eligible for records or all-time lists. He also had a 46-0 ¾ that was wind-aided and a 45-10 ¾ that was legal.
The TFRRS performance lists include all marks, and Givens is ranked 3rd in the Patriot League and only 1 ½ inches behind conference co-leaders Brayden Irhuegbae of Boston University and Caleb Simbiri of Bucknell, who both jumped 47-5 ¾ last weekend, Irhugegbae in San Marcos, Texas, Simbiri in Raleigh, N.C.
Givens had a high school PR of 43-9 from 2022 South Jersey Group 3 sectionals at Delsea.
Givens has a long jump PR of 22-2 ¼ from a meet at the Armory in February 2023. He jumped a wind-aided 22-0 ¾ at Shippensburg last month.
