Way to go Brad! AJ said Brad was ready to go high. He told me about a week ago things were really clicking for him.

Yeah, it was fun to watch. Sick part is he almost made 5.50 after that. If he pulls another first attempt 5.40 next weekend, he'll be all american.
Poest was real close to 5.35 as well. Awesome meet here at VT, good job fellas. Too bad they're takin the track down as we speak.

Kevin Poest had a great attempt at 5.35. This would have been a huge PR for him as well. You can look at the jump here: http://www3.uakron.edu/track/POLE%20VAU ... st535.html
We'll have to do it outdoors Kev!

Dang that was an 18ft jump.
