Princeton freshman Anthony Liakhnovich from Hammonton recorded a couple big PRs at the Ivy League Championships this past weekend.
Liakhnovich placed 5th in the discus with a 177-3 and 6th in the shot put with a 58-5 ¾. His previous PRs were both made at Penn – 171-8 from last month at the Penn Relays and 58-5 ¼ from an indoor meet at the Ott Center. He was the top freshman in the shot and No. 2 freshman in the disc.
Liakhnovich is just 19 inches off the all-time Princeton top-10 in the discus and 5 ¼ inches off in the shot put.
He’s No. 7 on the all-time South Jersey alumni list in the discus and No.8 in the shot put.
Liakhnovich also plays football at Old Nassau and is listed on the roster as a 6-foot-6, 265-pound offensive lineman.
