RESULTS:
PV: Michael Hogue: 6th place, 5.30m (17' 4.5"); All-American
Heptathlon: Jangy Addy: 14' 7" (4.45m). DOUBLE PR IN POLE VAULT
Just like every year we traveled again to the University of Arkansas. Michael Hogue entered the meet ranked in a tie 
for 14th place. The field was very bunched up between 17'6" to 18' on the list. We knew going in that it would come down to first attempt clearances. Mike did just that by smoking 5.30 (17' 4.5") on his 1st jump. He then blew through on his first jump at 5.40m. He went up a pole for his 2nd attempt and blew through again. We then raised his grip and move the standards back and he blew through again. Although he felt as though he should have cleared 5.40, it was a good day all and all. His 3rd straight all-american certificate and 3rd consecutive meet scoring points at nationals. He will focus on some base training and technical work as we transition to the outdoor season.

Heptathlete Jangy Addy had a nice day in the hep vault. His prior PR was 14' 2" and he cleared 14'3". After that he got the crowd pumped with the clap and snaked over 14' 7" on his 3rd attempt. He has made steady progress in his pole vaulting which used to be his weakest and most nerve racking event. His hard work has paid off.
