Track and Field: Piggee wins hurdle crown, Jenkins takes triple jump

The Long Beach State track and field team saw two of its six athletes competing at the Aztec Invitational post first-place finishes on Saturday.

Nimrod Piggee claimed the 110-meter hurdle title, clocking in with a season-best 14.68 seconds in windy conditions. Kevin Jenkins also won the triple jump with a season-long leap of 46-09.50. Jenkins added a runner-up showing in the high jump (6-06.75).

In the pole vault, the 49ers had a pair of solid performances as Brandon Dawes cleared 14-06, while James Bush recorded a height of 14 feet.

Nicholas Armstrong took sixth in the long jump (20-07.75) and 110m hurdles (15.74). He also finished 10th in the shot put with a distance of 38-06.25.

Long Beach State returns to action next weekend when it makes the short trip to Los Angeles for the USC Trojan Invitational (March 19-20).
