Rutgers-Camden Athletics

Drew Harper continued his terrific start to his junior season on the indoor track team, setting a pair of personal records, shattering his own program mark in the weight throw and earning his first ECAC qualifier while competing at Lehigh University’s Fast Times Before Finals meet Saturday. Harper finished fifth of 27 in the weight throw with a toss of 49-6.25/15.09 M, notching an ECAC qualifier and adding nearly two feet to the program record he set only one week earlier at the Scarlet Raptors’ season opener. Harper also finished 19th of 32 with a PR shot put of 39-7/12.06 M. Entering this season, Harper’s indoor weight throw record was 41-6/12.51 M. In only two weeks, he has raised that standard over eight feet, breaking his program record at both of his first two meets. Harper also holds the Rutgers-Camden outdoor track record in the hammer, with a mark of 39.86 meters set on April 22, 2017.
