Emory University senior Ian Francis recorded the top triple jump in the University Athletic Association (UAA) this season at the Clemson Invitational last weekend.  Francis finished fourth in the event with a jump of 14.04 meters, the 17^th-best among all Division III athletes this season and the eighth-best mark in Emory history.  Earlier in the week at the Birmingham Invitational, he finished 10^th with a 6.58 meter long jump, second in the UAA in the event only to his own best jump this season.  Francis also finished 34^th in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.35 seconds, the 12^th-best in the UAA this season, and ran the second leg of the Eagles’ ninth-place 4x400-meter relay team, whose time of 3:26.88 converts to the third-best in the UAA during the campaign.
