DELAWARE, Ohio - Brandeis University junior Mohamed Sidique (Harlem, N.Y./St. Raymond H.S. for Boys) finished in fifth place in the men's triple jump at the 2014 Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships. He jumped a career-best 48 feet, 1 3/4 inches (14.67 meters) to earn his first-career All-American honor.
Sidique was tied for 10th in the country heading into the event with a distance of 47 feet, 9 3/4 inches, a mark he set on May 1 at the New England Division III Championships.
The top 20 made it to NCAAs, and after three preliminary jumps, the top nine reached the final round. Sidique's best jump came on his second try.
Sidique is the first All-American for the Brandeis men's team since Chris Brown '12 finished fourth in the 1500-meter race at the 2012 Outdoor Championships.
