Penn State track, field men emerge as leaders after second day of competition of Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field championships

After two days of competition in the 2017 Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Penn State — especially the men's side — continues to dominate the field.

Led by Malik Moffett's conference title in the long jump, the Penn State men's team leads the competition with 52 points.

The women, who are the reigning conference indoor champions, fell to third with 40 points.

Moffett's hit a school school record and gold medal-winning mark of 26 feet-three inches (8.00 meters) in the men's long jump on his second attempt, narrowly breaking David Coney's 1985 record of 25-11.
