Robert Rasnick: 5.25m, 17' 2.5" PR
Brad Holtz: 5.25m, 17' 2.5" Ties outdoor PR.
With the season on the line, both vaulters stepped up big to advance to the NCAA Finals. Robert Rasnick posted a lifetime best on his first attempt, while Bradley cleared on his second attempt. The competition did not continue after only 12 remained, so both guys stopped after 5.25m. Both vaulters will travel to Eugene, OR and compete on June 10th for the NCAA championship. This is the first time since 1996 that UT has taken two vaulters to the NCAA. The last duo to attend the NCAA's together was Lawrence Johnson (19' 8") and Dan Monaghan (17'6") both traveling to Eugene as well. The Vols had a great day that meet as LoJo set the NCAA meet record at 19'1". This will be Brad's final collegiate meet for the Vols and he is trying to finish his career bith a big BANG.

It was a rough day for the Volunteers. In spite of great warm-ups, the delays and conditions got the best of the UT contigent of Brad Holtz and Robert Rasnick. Both vaulters failed at their opening heights. We will regroup for the NCAA regionals with plans to advance to the NCAA Finals.
