Kevin gets win, records, qualifies for nationals; Emily wins, sets NAC record

Great day for Kevin and Emily, repeating as NAC 55H indoor champions in the meet held at North Central College. In addition to Kevin and Emily PRs, Karly PR'd in both her races, finishing 6th and missing 5th by just .01. Mike fought off injury to gut out a great 4th-place finish. In the high jump, Karly got off to a rough start, missing opening height but regained form and jumped into 4th place. Winners in pizza challenge: Kevin, Emily, Joe, Karly, Mike.

Kevin 7.85/7.72 [1st PR SR CR NQ #1 all time] 5-9.75 [7th]
Mike 8.43/8.40 [4th]
Eric 8.88
Joe 5-9.75 [6th]
Alex 5-7.75
Emily 9.01/8.89 [1st PR CR #2 all time]
Karly 9.74/9.71 [6th PR #3 all time] 4-7.5 [4th]
Mollie 10.64 NH

Complete results


Kevin holds off Vinny. Tightening up the trail leg side by keeping the lower leg folded and arm swinging back bent and lower will help Kevin go even faster.


Emily leads it from start to finish.


Emily and Mollie start in prelims.


Karly's start in prelims.


Eric, Kevin and Mike start in prelims.


Karly with some good vertical. Down the road, need to get a lead arm block and bring the lead knee around to the front -- and then hold the layout a bit longer. Nearly folded on this bar.


Joe with a very good attempt at this nearly 6-foot bar.
