Long Ties Long Standing Record at Mule Relays
Hayden Long made history as he matched a 48-year-old school record in winning the javelin throw as part of Truman’s track and field participation at the Mule Relays hosted by the University of Central Missouri, April 11.
Long matched the school record on his first throw of the event. The javelin flew 62.10 meters (203 feet, nine inches) to tie Mark Sissom’s record set in 1977. It was only the ninth time in Truman men’s outdoor history that a school record was matched or bettered since the start of the 2000s.
