LONG BEACH, Calif. – Air Force freshman Morgan Glaser accounted for the second-best high jump clearance in program history on April 19, as the track and field team wrapped up a full weekend of SoCal competition with the final day of the Beach Invitational. Glaser was one of two Air Force Top 5 performers in Long Beach on Saturday.

Glaser recorded a career-best clearance of 1.79 meters (5'10½") to take over second on the program's all-time standings and finish second in a field of 32.
