Everett, already the current conference record holder, finished fifth in the long jump with a distance of 6.73m. He held his own against a field of strong competitors.
 
He competed against Ohio State’s Zack Bazile, who finished fourth at the Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships in the event.
 
The senior from Findlay also competed in the high jump for the first time this outdoor season and placed second.
 
His jump of 2.03m set a new conference record in the event. This comes after Everett won the high jump competition at the Great Midwest Indoor Track & Field Championship and was named the Field Athlete of the Meet.
