Overview
- Selva Prabhu took triple jump silver in Fayetteville with a personal best of 17.05m, crossing 17m for the first time and earning what reports describe as a national indoor record.
- Texas’ Jonathan Seremes won the triple jump at 17.25m, with the 21-year-old Prabhu competing for Kansas State University.
- A day earlier, Tarleton State’s Lokesh Sathyanathan claimed long jump gold at 8.21m, edging De’Aundre Ward (8.20m) as Tafadzwa Chikomba placed third (8.15m).
- Sathyanathan’s 8.21m places him third on India’s all-time list outdoors and makes him only the fourth Indian to win an NCAA Division I indoor title.
- The Athletics Federation of India’s record-ratification rules could affect recognition of both performances because NCAA testing is not a WADA Code signatory.
