DIII Nationals: Jerome finishes 10th

3/15 At Lincoln, Neb. Checked in about 8 a.m., warmed up at 9 a.m. and competed at 10 a.m. Opening height was 6-4.25. Cleared that on first attempt. Cleared 6-6.25 on second attempt. Cleared 6-8.25 on third attempt. Had two very close attempts at 6-9.75 (first two jumps), over but folded on it. One less miss at any height would have put him in the top 8. Top 3 were 6-11 or better, but 4 through 10 all jumped 6-8.25. So close.
