He attempted 5.42 but wouldn't make it over today. His mark of 5.30 ranks him 20th on the national indoor list and he now ranks third all-time at Princeton. Senior Ben Gaylord's height of 4.65 (15-3) was good enough for fourth place.
Sophomore Adam Kelly won the weight throw at 21.87 (71-9) on his fifth throw. All four of his countable throws were over 20 meters as he improves to six on the indoor national list, and second all-time in Princeton history. Senior Vic Yon was the runner-up at 18.00 (59-0.75).
