is pratt a freshman? true or redshirt?

[jomrus]

My coach went to BYU, and he said most of those guys go on missions before school, so they are older than most guys. Still the guy has four years, and that's all that matters.

[TreyDECA]

yeah, i forgot about the missions, so they're probably 21 or 22 already. but i guess that's a lot of time out of training.

I'd watch out for Pratt. At the TX Relays he was on top of 5.20s taking off near 15'. Looked pretty good for taking 2 years off for his mission.

[jomrus]

Oh no doubt. I watched the guy from the sidelines after another heartbreaking no height by myself. That guy has some good things going on. It'll be a tough outdoor to compete with some of these guys.

After looking at their roster BYU is loaded. It seems like all of their vaulter have also HJ'd around 6'6 or 6'8. Pratt did serve a mission but has a PR or 18'4.5. http://www.byucougars.com/track_field/p ... tandf.html

Tamara Diles in 12th? Even though she has a 14'+ PR she still hasn't jumped over 13' this year. But she is still coming back from injury...
