Boone, N.C. - Junior Chibuzo Aguocha's school-record breaking performance in the triple jump highlighted the final day of competition for the Furman men's and women's track and field teams at the 2007 Southern Conference Championships on Sunday afternoon at ASU Track at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Aguocha was one of three Paladins to turn in second-place finishes on Sunday.
