D3 Outdoor Track & Field Nationals headquarters
Day 3 Recap
USM's Jamie Rugniski continued to show that the bigger the meet the better he performs as the sophomore won his first national outdoor track and field championship this afternoon in the triple jump. Rugniski who won the title indoor, came into the meet seeded third in the meet, and hadn't competed in the triple jump in a competition for several weeks. He wouldn't let that hold him back as he was fourth heading into the finals as he jumped 48-5 on his second attempt. On his 5th jump of the day was the big one as Jamie got out to 15.13m or 49-7 3/4. The mark was a personal best outdoors and broke his own USM school record of 48-5 1/4 set at the beginning of the year. With his win, Rugnsiki is the first National Champion in school history outdoors, and on the year has earned 4 all-american awards making him the most decorated track athlete in school history
