3/6 Kenosha. Despite illness, Jerome solidified his position as a national qualifier by jumping 6-9.75 on his first attempt and winning the event. He started at 6-4, making that height as well as 6-6 on his first jump. One miss at 6-8 before clearing that height. After the 6-9.75, he tried three jumps at 6-10.75 with a couple close ones. Joe ran 55H, going 7.98 in prelims after hitting the fourth hurdle, coming off sideways and going into H5 off line. In finals, he hit H1, losing some rhythm and hitting a few more after that, finishing 5th in 8.05. Went for broke, just couldn't react quick enough at the first hurdle to handle the extra speed, which likely brought him too close.
Jerome's jump that qualified him for DIII nationals.
Spectacular crash in this one. Fortunately, Joe was not involved.
