Marlon Nangle of the Lions track and field team set a new York University record in the triple jump with a performance of 15.25 metres at the McGill Team Challenge in Montreal on Saturday. The result is also a new meet record for the 11-year-old event. Nangle, who captured gold at last year's Canadian Interuniversity Sport Championship, is ranked No. 1 in Canada and is undefeated in the triple jump since Jan. 6, 2005. His mark of 15.25 metres 
surpasses the old school mark of 15.21 metres set by Nyjah James in 2004.
