Congratulations, Peniel Richard of who finished the NCAA D2 indoor season with new PNG national indoor record of 15.56m in the Triple Jump. Richard improved on his previous indoor record of 15.31m set in January this year. The result earned him third place in a very close competition where he went into the final round in the lead after posting a 15.49m effort with his fourth jump. However, two athletes bettered this with their final jumps to set up a dramatic climax to the competition, and although Richard improved to 15.56 it wasn’t enough to snatch the title. Richard also holds the Triple Jump National record outdoors of 15.51m set at the Pacific Games in Apia last year.
