Butler Finishes 2nd In Long Jump, 12th In High Jump At Indoor National Championships

 
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The Lincoln University of Pennsylvania men's track & field program saw one of its greatest student-athletes in program history continue to make his mark on the national stage, earning the silver medal in the long jump event and placing 12th out of 17 participants during the high jump at the weekend's NCAA Indoor National Championships inside the Virginia Beach Sports Center.
 
Glenn Butler, Jr. (Greenburgh, N.Y./White Plains) set a new personal-record with his runner-up showing in the long jump, reaching a distance of 7.70m to trail only Pittsburg State's Henry Kiner (8.04m) in the entirety of the NCAA's Division II level.
 
The senior from Greenburgh, New York also gained a height of 2.04m in the high jump to tie for the 12th-best mark while coming ahead of Brayden Sorensen (Nebraska-Kearney), Trey Bartholomew (Oklahoma Baptist), Steven Schmidt (Northwest Nazarene), and Brendan Jewell (Missouri Southern).
 
The outdoor season begins in earnest on Friday, March 17 as both the men and women's programs compete at the Buccaneer Invitational on the campus of Charleston Southern University.
