Peniel Richard achieved the rare distinction of setting two National Records in one day last Sunday.
Competing in the Lone Star Conference Championships at his home ground at West Texas A&M, Richard won the triple jump competition by some margin with a 15.59m effort, an improvement of 5cm on his own National record. He followed this up later in the day with a long jump of 7.26m to improve his record by 3cm.
It was a great weekend for the West Texas A&M mens team as they won the Conference Championships for the first time in the history of the programme,with the highlight being a mind blowing NCAA Div 2 All Time Record of 20.13 seconds in the 200m by their Ghanaian Sprinter Benjamin Azamati.
