CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. - High Point University men's track and field completed its week at the Virginia Grand Prix this Saturday, with senior Britton Mann setting a new program record in the hammer throw.

Participating in the final event of the afternoon, Mann cleared 48.10m in the hammer throw to beat the previous HPU mark by over three meters. The New York-native finished 10th among the attached field for his performance, while his mark ranks seventh in the Big South this season. Mann already owns Panther all-time bests in both the indoor and outdoor shot put, and reset the HPU record for the weight throw (16.15m) during indoor conference championships earlier this year.

Competing in the pole vault invite, junior Carter Clasper tied for fourth in the event, clearing 4.83m on the day. His mark falls just four centimeters short of his season-high, while his 4.87m at the Phoenix Invitational earlier in the year sits atop the Big South standings.

Levi Williams collected a pair of career marks while representing the Panthers on the track. The sophomore ran the first sub-11 100m sprint of his career after crossing the finish line in 10.85, before posting a personal best time of 21.81 in the 200m later in the day.

COMING UP NEXT
