Jackson claimed the NEC lead in one of the league’s deepest events. Outclassing the field at Bucknell’s Gulden Invitational, the Keystone State product ran the 60m hurdles in 7.96 to strike gold and surpass a trio of rivals on the NEC performance list. Contesting the event for the first time this season, Jackson finished nearly 0.30 second under the IC4A Championships automatic qualifying standard. While topping an 18-entrant field at Bucknell, Jackson moved up into a tie for 34th place on the NCAA Division I national leader board. He owns the sixth-fastest time amongst all IC4A qualifiers.
