Jackson qualifies for hurdles final on first day of Penn State meet

Ten track & field athletes traveled to compete at the Penn State National Invitational on Friday and Saturday.

Fifteen Temple entries were accepted into the invitation-only event.

Freshman sprinter and hurdler Ebonee Jackson was the only Owl who competed during the first day of the invitational.

“Ebonee showed great poise as a freshman today,” assistant coach Tramaine Ellison said. “This was her first time running at this type of collegiate meet with this type of caliber of athletes, and I think she performed well.”

Jackson finished third in her heat in the 60-meter hurdles and 10th overall with a time of 8.
