Track & Field, Cross Country. Bloomfield breaks school mark, Jamaican National record in 400m

Sophomore Akeem Bloomfield broke his own school record in the men's 400m dash at the Tiger Paw Invitational Friday to highlight Day 1 of competition for the Tigers' track and field program. Bloomfield crossed in 45.02, the second fastest time in the nation this year, the sixth-fastest time in NCAA history and eighth best ever in the world all-time list. A native of Kingston, Jamaica, Bloomfield, who finished second in the race to Southern California's Michael Norman (45.00), broke the Jamaican National record in the process.
