PUEBLO, Colo. – Keith Smith and Diamond Brunn get set to compete at the NCAA DII Outdoor Track and Field National Championship meet in Pueblo, Colorado. Keith will compete in the Men's triple jump and Diamond will compete in the Women's long jump on Tuesday, May 22nd.
 
Keith qualified for the National competition in the triple jump with his season, career, and program record of 15.28 meters (50' 1.75"). The junior jumper set the mark in the outdoor season's opening meet at the Mississippi College Spring Classic, and did so with 0.6 meters per second wind going against him. The jumping record broke a nearly six-year-old program record that was set by Aurthur Jeffrey in 2019 (15.24m | 50'). Out of all the triple jump marks in NCAA DII, Smith's mark is the 21^st-best.
 
Diamond Brunn's qualification for the national meet came into play while in Nacogdoches, Texas, for the Carl Kight Invitational hosted by Stephen F. Austin State.  The junior from Killeen, Texas earned the trip to the Centennial State after she surpassed her own program record and became the only Mulerider Women's long jumper with a mark of 20 feet or more. Brunn's mark listed at 6.10m (20' 0.25") and saw barely any tailwind assistance. While it doesn't count towards the national qualifiers, Brunn's most recent jump came out at 6.24m (10' 5.75"), but saw assistance by a 4.4 mph tailwind.
