Penn State Harrisburg's Jalil Clayton wasted no time in impressing to begin his senior season, posting a new program record thanks to a blistering time of 8.18 in the 60m hurdles at Susquehanna's River Hawk Open. His time bested his previous career mark of 8.27 and currently ranks him second in the nation in the event, just .01 seconds off the the best effort of the year. He also helped lead the Blue & White's 4x400m relay team to victory over squads from Stevenson, Susquehanna and Scranton thanks to a strong opening leg.
