Emily gets fast start to indoor season at Carthage

1/14 Opening day. Always exciting and unpredictable. Emily had quite a day, missing her PR by just .02, running 8.99/8.91 for 2nd in a quality field in 55H. On the men's side, Mike had a rough outing, banging through H3 and H4, leading to a 4-step H5 and 9.32. Aaron ran a clean race, managing 9.44. Men's HJ pulled in 6 team points, with Mike leading the way with a jump of 6-0 3/4 (= #3 all time) for 5th, narrowly missing a school record height at 6-2 3/4. Joe was 7th at 5-8 3/4. Dan had a good first-ever HJ competition, clearing 5-5.

Complete results


Mike taking a too long plant step into takeoff. Getting that step quicker will help get more vertical and less travel.


Joe leaning in a bit on this one but shows that great rotation and curl around the bar on this clearance.


Emily shows great technique and consistency here.


Dan jumping at 5-7. Jumping toward bar but a pretty good attempt for first meet ever high jumping.
