Nick Percy is back to breaking records again for the Nebraska men's track and field team.

The Husker senior and Ventnor, England, native broke his own school record from last month on Friday at the Pittsburg State Gorilla Classic in Pittsburg, Kansas, with a mark of 71 feet, 2 inches to win the event.

Percy smashed his previous mark 68-10¾ from Jan. 26 at the Air Force Invitational, and Friday's toss puts him at No. 15 in the nation.

Raynesha Lewis added a win in the women's long jump with a personal-best mark of 19-11½, good for second in the Big Ten this season.
