Chrys Jones of Centre College set a new Don Drumm Stadium record with his winning triple jump at the 2009 NCAA Division III Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The individual national title is the 19th all-time for a SCAC student-athlete and third this year.Jones, a sophomore from Harrodsburg, Ky., jumped 50 feet, 3 1/4 inches to earn the national title in the event, the first-ever for a Centre College student-athlete. He is the first male SCAC student-athlete to win a national title at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships since Rose-Hulman's Chris Trapp won back-to-back-to-back javelin titles from 1984-1986.
The sophomore sensation had the chance to talk with the SCAC's Russell Kramer last week about his experience at NCAAs, what being a national champion meant to him and about some of his talents off the track.
