The University of Florida
2. Berry, Joseph Tennessee 5.35m 17-06.50 SB
3. Ayers, Michael Tennessee 5.15m 16-10.75 Outdoor PR
8. Robert Rasnick Unattached-Tenn 4.96 16-02.75 PR
8. Seaman, Michael Tennessee 4.95m 16-02.75 Outdoor PR
10. Holtz, Brad Tennessee 4.80m 15-09.00
The guys made their first full return to outdoor competition at the Florida Relays. The sun was out and the temperature was perfect for pole vaulting. The winds were switchy and the direction of the pit was an issue. Joe Berry fought through inconsistent winds to place 2nd with a seasonal best of 5.35m. Michael Ayers jumped an outdoor personal best of 16-10.5" to continue his recent string of vaulting. People watching were freaked out by his 14 to 15 foot take-offs. Both guys achieved regional qualifying marks. Redshirt Robert Rasnick, broke through today with some 7 lefts vaulting to clear 4.95. He blew through all his poles but was fortunate to borrow a few poles from fellow competitors. Michael Seaman continued his miraculous return to vaulting, having his first comp from full run. He cleared 4.95m to eclipse his outdoor PR from last year. Brad Holtz showed signs of returning to form as he progressed through to some bigger poles and had more consistency in his run. We will hope for good weather and nice winds at the Sea Ray Relays.
