<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">“I couldn’t be more proud of the young man,” head coach Todd Harbour said. “He battled. It was probably the best vault competition in a long time at an NCAA meet.
Last year, if he would have jumped what he jumped today he would have been second. 5.60 was second last year, so it was an incredible vault competition. Some things happened that were out of the norm so he had to jump a lot of bars. I think he got a little
tired there at the end, but he capped off a great season with a great jump tonight and I couldn’t be more proud of him.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
