He capped off the indoor season as a senior by finishing fourth at the national meet. As a junior, he won the NCAA Regional Championship in the triple jump, leading the Big Red to an unprecedented seventh-place team finish. Halim graduated with the Cornell record in the indoor triple jump and was second all-time outdoors as well. As a sophomore, he was the runner-up in the triple jump at the Heps indoors and won the first of his six Heptagonal titles at the outdoor meet, while also finishing eighth at the regional meet. During his freshman season, he scored at the Heps and qualified for the regionals in both the long jump and the triple jump. Halim was named the Outstanding Performer of the Meet during the Indoor Heptagonal Championships at Barton Hall during his senior season after winning the long jump and the triple jump at the meet. Outdoors, he repeated the double, marking the third straight time he captured the two horizontal jump titles at the league championships. He garnered a spot in the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials in the triple jump after finishing his junior season ranked eighth on the final national list among all jumpers, professional and collegiate. Halim competed in the 2012 (London) and 2016 (Rio) Olympic Games after qualifying for the U.S. Virgin Islands team.
