Orange and White 2009

The guys competed in a fun little intrasquad meet tonight to put the finishing touches on a nice fall of training. Freshman Chase Brannon won based on the point system, while clearing 14'9" in the "jump off" section. His lifetime best is 15'. Brad, Joe, and Robert all cleared 4.90 easily, had nice attempts at 5.05, but then went to take shots at 5.20. All were jumping from short run ups. A point system was used and each vaulter had a total of 6 attempts, starting at lower than usual heights. Also in attendance were jumps coach Jerome Romain, team sports psychologist Dr. Joe Whitney, legendary UT pole vault coach Jim Bemiller, and former vaulter and team captain Jeff Trembley.

Who cares about their faces. They're not that pretty to start with. Can they jump? Will 5.20 win the SEC, or will the taper net a couple of 5.50 auto qualifiers. Having a pack speaks well of the coach. Maybe get Russ his due. Wouldn't that be cool?!
