Walker-Khan burst onto the scene last week with his league-leading long jump performance, and the British-born Blackbird did not stop there. Contesting the triple jump for the first time as a collegiate competitor, Walker-Khan surged out to the NEC lead in a second event. Riding high off his NEC Rookie of the Week selection, Walker-Khan registered a bound of 14.84m (48' 8.25") to claim bronze in the triple at the UAlbany Great Dane Classic, which was hosted at New York City's Armory Track & Field Center. Only Saint Peter’s Isaiah Harris and Cal State Northridge’s Derion Taylor performed better than the first-year Blackbird did that day. Walker-Shan returned to the Armory one day later for the Saturday Night Shootout and finished first amongst collegiate entries in the long jump. His winning mark was 21 centimeters shy of the NEC-leading leap he recorded at the NYC Gotham Cup on Jan. 10. He's contested three competitions in the New Year and has two league-leading marks, one NEC Field Athlete of the Week award and two NEC Rookie of the Week honors to show for his outings.
