PHILADELPHIA - University of Louisville senior Kelley Bowman finished sixth in the "championship" high jump to lead the Cardinal track and field team on the second day of competition at the 122nd edition of the Penn Relays Friday at Franklin Field.

Bowman, a native of Mt. Vernon, Ky., had a top jump of 5 feet, 8.75 inches good for sixth place in the field of championship competition from around the nation. Last week at the Cardinal Invitational, Bowman set a new school record in the high jump with a first-place mark of 5-11.00.

Also on Friday, Cardinal freshman Andre Black finished eighth overall in a field of 23 athletes in the long jump with a mark of 22-05.25, while sophomore Brad Keys was 16th in the 400-meter hurdles with a school record time of 52.28 seconds breaking the previous record of 52.31 set by Tom LaPaille in 1981.

Saturday's final day of competition will begin for U of L at 12:15 p.m. ET with the men's hammer throw, and following the Penn Relays, the Cards will compete at the 2006 BIG EAST Outdoor Championships on May 5-7 in Storrs, Conn.
