TOPEKA – Sophomore Caleb Manning was the top finisher on Friday for the Hutchinson Community College men's track team at the Washburn Open.
Manning finished second in the triple jump with a top attempt of 48 feet, 2 inches (14.68m). That mark was a personal record for Manning, who qualified for the 2023 NJCAA Indoor Championships two weeks ago at the Washburn Indoor Athletic Facility at the Rust Buster Classic.
Manning's mark on Friday improved that mark and was the fourth-best triple jump in the nation this season.
The Blue Dragon men had four other Top 10 performances on Day 1 of the two-day meet at the site of the 2023 NJCAA Indoor Championships.
High jumpers Donovan Bryant and Alex Holt tied for seventh after both Blue Dragons cleared 6 feet, 0.75 inch (1.85m).
Pole vaulter Brayden Peterson finished 10th on Friday with a clearance of 12 feet, 7.5 inches (3.85m).
