// ABRAHAMSSON WIN THE TRIPLE JUMP
Freshman Rebecka Abrahamsson grabbed the third Penn Relays title in UC history on Friday as she won the College Division's triple jump. The last Bearcats' athlete to win an individual title was Ian Jarman in the 2008 when he won the hammer throw. Abrahamsson leapt 42' 3.25" to win the competition and break her own school record. The Swede's new mark places her 12the in the nation and second in the American Athletic Conference behind SMU's Isabella Marten (43' 4.25").
