Beat Renaud Lavillenie in the process. I believe this is a new certified PB, exceeding his 5.88 from Feb of this year that listed on iaaf.org. (I think the 5.93 from his state meet wasn't ratified.)

Renaud Lavillenie skipped 5.91 and failed his three attempts at 5.96m.

Luv em . Too bad he will never be on a weaties box. Will miss a lot of future endorsement deals wearing a singlet from Sweden . Got to put on the red white and blue if he wants to make the big bucks in 2020.

If this country was really that supportive of its athletes this kid would already be a superstar. Why would he follow through and attend LSU? What does he have to gain competing in the NCAA and being coached by a second rate jumps coach (but a super nice guy)? He should be based out of Europe and enjoy the limelight of his talent!

Third-rate jumps coach who is an A-hole and cutthroat

You raise some valid points, but I’m sure he’ll still be coached by his dad.

Whoa. Too far. Lane is decent with the horizontals but lacking with the pole vault. If his dad coaches him, why not turn pro, collect the checks and endorsements while attending LSU with his brother? NCAA champs and records do not matter

6m PV age 18 would equal a 52.5 400h age 18 Female
Who gets there first?
