What a great vaulting day for Landon!

He tied for 4th out of 19 vaulters....He went out at 16'6". He acheived a new PR (personal record) for indoor when he cleared 16'. His outdoor PR is 16'3". This PR was acheived just at the right time at the NCAA DivII Outdoor National Championships where he ended up as the highest ranked NCAA Div II freshman in the United States...Wow...He has started strong and is very determined....By the way, the winner was a vaulter from Texas Tech Div I and the others are unattached which usually means that they have graduated from college and are trying to qualify for the Olympics....Way to go Landon....We are so proud of you...Thanks to all the fans that came out to support him...I know that means a lot to Landon...more to come...
