Benedictine: Jerome gets 3rd, others notch PRs

4/11 Lisle, IL. Temperatures in the 60s with moderate winds and sunny sky contributed to great performances in this large meet with more than 1,000 athletes. Jerome had the top finish of the day with 3rd in HJ at 6-8.75 and an agonizingly close one at 6-10.75, which might have got him back into the Drake Relays. Still, his 6-8.75 positions him #8 in DIII in the early outdoor season. Nate equaled his HJ PR with a 6-4.75 for 6th, and he also had a near miss at the next height. Levi jumped a PR 6-2.75, which was equal to the 7th place height, but he finished 12th on misses.

In hurdles, Levi had our best finish with a 6th in 400H, racing to a PR57.51. Matt also notched a PR61.08, despite a couple missteps late in the race. High hurdle performances were good, too, with PRs from Levi (16.12), Spencer (16.69) and Matt (17.04), which all ranked in our all time top 10. Sadly, Joe hurt his hamstring in 4x1 and was unable to hurdle.

Jerome 2.05 (3rd) 7 jumps
Nate 1.95 (6th =PR =#3 all time) 9 jumps
Levi 1.90 (12th PR #5 all time) 9 jumps 16.12 (13th PR #4 all time) 57.51 (6th PR #4 all time)
Spencer 1.75 (16th) 6 jumps 16.69 (15th PR =#7 all time)
Matt 17.04 (17th PR #10 all time) 61.08 (15th PR)
Chris 61.64 (17th)
