Tommy is a beast man! Looks like he almost had 5.82m. Just needed to move his standards up a bit, if possible.

When he clears 5.80, he is going to blow it up!

Are they useing the new short pegs in college, that looks like it shoulda stayed up? Or it might just be the angle of the camera.

Yes that was on short pegs. The camera angle is not the best, but it was a very close attempt.

Absolutely not. In the word's of Carl Erickson, "if your standards ain't buried, you're a p****." :P

5.80's going down at USATF.

I still dont think hes learned how to vault, I can see a lot of room left for improvement. And I dont think you should move your standars from 80 unless you start jumping 18+ I wouldnt want to be prideful and miss some big jumps like 5.82. or 6.00m etc.
