There were at least two people hoping junior JP Mattern (pictured) would break the school record in the 300-meter hurdles: The future record holder, and his brother, Henry Mattern ’10, the then-current record holder. “He really wanted me to get it,” JP said. “He was rooting for me, and he’s been rooting for me for
