Very cool. Any vids of this guy?

thats amazing... So is this guy sticking around next year or going back to germany?

i dont have any vids, and sorry, idk if he's staying or heading back.

Here's a pic tho

Thats ok, im just wondering who the top returning kids will be next year. But thats a whole separate post for a little later. And just wondering, based on that picture, do you know what pole he was on? Looks like its pretty long considering the bar is at 17'6.25.

idk if that is his 17-6.25 make, it could have been lower. i didnt take it, i just found it on dyestat

ive been told he wont be able to go to nike outdoors because he is going back

Realllyy.... thats interesting. Haha i hate how a german comes here, woops up on all the juniors, and leaves us with our tails between our legs . But hes a great jumper and i wish him the best in the future, regardless of whether he goes to Nike.

FYI, he was on a 16-foot 200 lb. pole and only weighs around 170 lbs. It was a 15.0 flex UCS pole. I think he was gripping right around 15-8 to 15-9. Amazing take-off with great acceleration through the plant.

Here's the video:

I talked to him earlier that day. He said he was going back to germany in early june. I am not sure what he is doing about next year.

Thanks a lot. Thorston Mueller is another German who whooped up on some of our boys

wow, so explosive. amazing...
