PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania -- Morgan State freshman Jailah Mason set a school and Penn Relays record in the high jump on Thursday during the 121st edition of the Penn Relays at Franklin Field on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania.

Mason's personal-best height of 6-00.5 in the high jump-college, broke the previous Morgan State and Penn Relays mark of 5-10.75, which was set by Brittany Robinson during the 2006 Penn Relays.

Fellow freshman Jess St. John would place ninth in the shot put-championship with a throw of 46-11.

On Friday, Shenel Crooke ran a time of 11.91 in the 100 meter dash to finish 15th.
