Academy of Art University Athletics

Sophomore Reneilwe Aphane just keeps getting better and better. In the triple jump at Sacramento State's Mondo Mid-Major Challenge this past Saturday, Aphane posted an Academy of Art program record once more with a 51-1.75 distance. The Pretoria, South Africa native placed 1st of 11 with that mark and did so in dramatic fashion by achieving the record in his final attempt.

"Neil was all over the place at first in his triple jump, but came through with a clutch performance and stole to competition on the last jump with a season-best mark,” head coach Charles Ryan said. “It was really impressive and a very mentally tough performance.”
