Emory University senior Lauren Attiah broke the school record in the triple jump at the North Central College Last Chance Qualifier on Friday. Attiah finished third in the event with a jump of 11.89 meters, besting her previous school-record distance of 11.65 meters. The mark is the 10th-best among all NCAA Division III competitors this season, putting her in position to qualify for next weekend’s National Championships. Attiah also finished fourth in the long jump with a leap of 5.45 meters, the 29th-best jump in Division III and the second-longest by an Eagle in 2012.
