Muhammad Halim wins the NCAA triple jump, beating Rayon Taylor who competed for Florida State after winning the same event for Cornell last year: http://www.theithacajournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080616/SPORTS/806160328/1006

What's a great triple jumper doing at Cornell when it's so bloody cold most of the year? Regardless, it's great.

Good education? Nice scenery? Flew under Stanford's radar?

It's a tradition, going back at least to the early 70s and Jim Leonard, who basically owned the Heps triple jump during his career.
