SAN DIEGO – Fresno State's Cierra Jackson capped off her weekend at the Triton Invitational by breaking the program's 38-year old record in shot put. The junior now owns both the school's indoor and outdoor records in the event.
On her third attempt of the competition, Jackson landed a mark of 17.39m/57-0.75, exactly one meter further than her previous best. The throw smashed Dot Jones' record of 16.53m/54-2.75 which was set in 1986.
The toss ranks No. 1 in the Mountain West this season.
