MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Junior Meghan Mock represented the West Virginia University track and field team this afternoon with a first-place showing in the Eastern division of the women’s long jump at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia.

On one of the largest stages in the sport, Mock took the top spot with a personal-best distance of 6.17 meters. The mark qualifies her for the BIG EAST Championships and places her third on WVU’s all-time record list for the event.

Today’s performance is also the second-consecutive meet that Mock captured first in the long jump. In her last time competing, at the Kent Taylor - Joe Hilton Carolina Invitational hosted by North Carolina, Mock took first place after clearing 6.09 meters.

West Virginia will continue action on Friday as the throwers start competition at the Ashland Alumni Open in Ashland, Ohio.
