Wow! :star: Congratulations to Brad on PRing by nearly a foot! Brad has been jumping between 5.00 and 5.15 like clockwork the past 2 years, so it is nice to see him finally pop a big one in a meet.

Oh yeah he set a school record too :)

Another who had a day like that is Hannah Moore of Oregon. She jumped 13'5" yesterday at University of Washington. Thats a 1 foot PR. PR'd at 4 bars in one day.

Way to go Brad! :yes: 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
