Junior Devon Bond now stands seventh on the national triple jump leaderboard.

NEW YORK CITY —  Junior triple jumper Devon Bond skipped to his second school record in four weeks on Saturday to lead the UTSA men's track & field team's final day of action at this weekend's New Balance Invitational.

Bond, a Tri-State Area native (Trenton, N.J.), finished fourth in the championship flight with his NCAA provisional leap of 52-5 ½/15.99m, which extended his program standard by a foot and seven inches. He also moved up from 14th to seventh place on the national leaderboard.

UTSA also received a near-school-record performance from sophomore Cole Reveal in the 3,000 meters. The Frisco native crossed the tape in 8:29.36, which places him second on the Roadrunners' all-time performers list, and the mark is the third-fastest in the Southland Conference this season.

Meanwhile, the 1,600m relay team of senior Bryan Ugochukwu, freshman Xaviar Archangel, junior Canel Cole and freshman Spenser Eggleston passed the baton in a season-best 3:17.14 (No. 5 on UTSA's all-time performance chart) and moved up to fourth in the league's standings.

The four-time defending Southland Champion Roadrunners now are off until the conference meet, which is scheduled for Feb. 26-27 in Norman, Okla.
