ARMORY INVITATIONAL 2013
For the 2nd consecutive year, a Tennessee vaulter has brought home the title from the New Balance Championship section. This year the UT vaulters had an outstanding day of work. Michael Maira got things going in the college section, eclipsing a lifetime best of 5m. In the championship section the Vols brought home a 1-2-6 finish, scoring 21 points in the team chase. Tyler Porter tied his lifetime best at 5.20m. Chase Brannon set an indoor PR of 5.40m and had good looks at 5.50m. Freshman Jake Blankenship took the championship with his 1st ever 18' vault, matching Lawrence Johnson's UT freshman indoor record.
MONDO CHALLENGE 2013
Jake Blankenship broke the meet record at 5.29m and took some decent attempts at a new personal best of 5.41m. Chase continues to progress as he got his first 17' bar of the season. Look for some big jumps from him in February. Tyler Porter had his first meet from 8 lefts and competed in his first meet for the Vols this season. He made a clutch 3rd attempt clearance at 4.99m to stay alive, going on to clear 5.09m on his first attempt. Michael Maira gained some experience and continues to look to break through to more consistent clearances at 4.90+. Lots of work to do for everyone to get where we need to be.
