>Thompson ran away with the 800m win, covering the two laps in a time of 2:10.34. Nixon on the other hand brought home the long jump win and a new school record. Nixon's jump of 19-5.50 breaks an 11 year old record (19-2.25) set by Gloria Norman at the Ralph Higgins meet in Stillwater, Okla. in 1987.
