The junior posted ACC-leading marks in the men’s long jump and triple jump at the Rod McCravy Memorial Invitational on Jan. 9-10.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – University of Louisville men's track & field junior Miller Jones has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Field Athlete of the Week, as announced by the ACC on Tuesday.
Jones earned a pair of third-place finishes at the Rod McCravy Memorial Invitational on Jan. 9-10, posting ACC-leading marks in both the men's long jump and men's triple jump on his way to earning the first ACC weekly award of his career.
In the triple jump, Jones bounded to a personal-best mark of 15.76m (51-8.5), a performance that not only leads the conference but also ranks sixth nationally and moves him up to fourth in program history. The native of Grand Junction, Colo. also recorded a solid performance in the long jump earlier in the weekend with a mark of 7.33m (24-0.75) on just three attempts.
The Cardinals will return to the track this Friday, Jan. 16 when they take part in the Bellarmine Open at the Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center in Louisville.
