Aerospace engineering senior Jonathan Gardner broke the Georgia Tech school record for the triple jump at the ACC Indoor Championships late last month. Overall, the Georgia Tech men’s team placed 14th with 20 points, and the women’s team placed 14th with 10 points.

“We had some outstanding individual performances, including Jonathan,” head men’s track coach Grover Hinsdale said.

“We had some young people really come through and compete well. We need to regroup and get ready for the outdoor season, and the ACC outdoor championships to have a different outcome.”

Jonathan Gardner broke the school record and earned All-ACC first team honors in the triple jump. Gardner placed third with a distance of 16.45m (53’11.75’) to not only break his PR of 16.15m (53’0”), but crush the old record of 16.26m (53’4.25”) set by Alphonso Jordan in 2010.
