Temple had four individuals break their personal records on Friday and Saturday at the American Athletic Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships. While the Owls finished 10th out of 11 teams in The American’s end-of-season meet, ahead of South Florida, there were still positive takeaways, coach Elvis Forde said.
The two-day event started with the women’s pentathlon on Friday, and sophomore multis competitor Crystal Jones did not disappoint. She finished the event in second place, scoring a personal-best 3,528 points in the 60-meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump and 800.
Out of the five events in the pentathlon, Jones placed best in the high jump, where she finished first.
