? Kansas University’s Sydney Conley soared to a mark of 6.50 meters (21 feet, 4 inches) to win the long jump at the Texas Relays on Saturday.

The mark is the best in the NCAA outdoor ranks this season.

Conley, who set a meet record as a high school senior in 2012, won the B section of the long jump last season before making the jump to the A section this year.

Also for KU Saturday, senior Nick Giancana placed third in the men’s high jump. He cleared 2.16 meters (7-1). And senior Colleen O’Brien placed fifth in the high jump at 1.81 meters (5-111/4 ).

Another group of Jayhawks competed at the Emporia State Spring Open on Saturday, and five claimed individual victories.

KU’s winners at Emporia were: Anastasiya Muchkayev, shot put (15.31 meters, or 50-23/4) and discus (52.41, 171-11); Cole Ceban, men’s shot put (17.99, 59-01/2); Daina Levy, hammer throw (58.16, 190-10); Jaimie House, women’s pole vault, (3.95, 12-111/2); and Jennifer Angles, 4,000 (17:40.72).

The Jayhawks will compete Friday at the Baylor Invitational.
