There was an intense battle at the end. The best competition I have ever seen. You would have had to been there to understand . It was very exciting and the house was packed. Congrats to Andrew.

I envy anyone who was there to see it live! I was keeping up with the competition via Flash Results and the live stream on ESPN3. I think I wore out the "refresh" button on the results page. The whole field of vaulters seemed to be on fire!

Congratulations to Andrew and coach! It was great to see him come in as a freshman and push this competition to new heights! I look forward to even bigger bars in your future!

What a great field of athletes! Always fun to watch at the National level. Here is a video I put together from the makes that I was able to get on film... For those trying to keep up with the X's and O's on flash results who didn't get to see it live... Enjoy!
