Mayor Breaks Long Jump Record, Pivarunas Sets 800 Meter Mark

At the recent track meet in Conway, AR on the campus of Hendrix College freshman Matt Mayor broke the University of Dallas long jump record with a first place leap of 20'9". The original record was set at 20'3" by Adam Todd on March 22, 2003. Mayor surpassed the record by 6 inches in establishing the new standard.  Senior Greg Pivarunas also had a record setting day in Arkansas with a second place finish in the 800 meter race.  The time of 1:56.87 eclipsed the old record of 1:58.61 he set at the Dr. Pepper Invitational in Waco, TX during the 2009 season.

The team will compete at the Almost Last Chance Meet on April 16 in San Antonio, TX. After this there will only be three more events until the NCAA DIII Nationals in Cleveland, OH.
