Cornell: Jerome elevates to new level

2/1 At Cornell College. Opening with a jump at 6-0.75, Jerome said, "That didn't feel very good." I replied, "Bar isn't high enough yet." He then went on to clear 6-2.75, 6-4.75, 6-6.75 and 6-8.75, breaking his school and conference records -- all without a miss. His first miss came at 6-9.5, and though he brushed the bar on his next attempt, the bar remained on the standards, giving Jerome yet another school and conference record. Three jumps followed at 6-10.25, with the third cleared but knocked off when he folded a bit too early. His jump ranks #4 in NCAA DIII. Oh, yeah... he also got first place in the meet. Mike jumped 6-0.75 for sixth. In women's HJ, Kasey 4-5.5, Alex and Mollie 4-3.5.

Joe continued his steady improvement in the hurdles, running to PRs of 8.68/8.59 in 60H for fourth place and #2 on the NACC honor roll, just a few hundredths behind the leader now. Joe's 8.59 is #2 on MSOE's all-time list. In women's hurdles, Nathalie's 10.74 moved her to #2 all time in MSOE's 60H to #5 on the NACC honor roll. Mollie moved to #3 all time and #6 on the NACC honor roll with her 10.91. Annika continued her improvement, running 11.82 (#6 all time), #9 in NACC.

In other events: 60 - Logan 7.62. 400 - Matt 51.28, Brian 53.8, Nate 64.4, Kasey 72.34. 200 - Mollie 31.01, Annika 33.11, Nathalie 31.26, Alex 34.04. 4x2 - Logan 24.8, Mike 25.1. 4x4 - Joe (23.5/29.10) 52.6, Matt (24.3/27.6) 51.9.
