Bergemann Tops Seven Feet at Pirate Relays

GREENVILLE, N.C. – Eric Bergemann became the second Campbell University high jumper ever to clear seven feet outdoors last weekend at the Pirate Relays.
Bergemann posted a personal outdoor record of seven feet to win the high jump. In his first outdoor competition of the season in the event, the junior from Gresham, Ore., just missed the school record of 7-feet-1 set by All American Orville Peterson in 1983. Bergemann broke the school indoor record (7-feet, 1 ˝-inches) last month and finished 11th in the NCAA Division I indoor high jump.
Junior Beran Bloomfield of Brooklyn, N.Y., finished second in the triple jump with a season-best showing of 42-feet, 2-inches.
Sophomore Jeremaine Hood from Snellville, Ga., and freshman Clarence Williams of Hampton, Va., placed 1-2 in the 800 meters. Hood ran 1:58.95, while Williams was close behind at 1:59.65.
Campbell's track and field teams return to action at the Raleigh Relays on Friday and Saturday (Mar. 29-30).
