IN THE AIR Senior Michael Vanesko makes one last push off the pole and clears the bar with room to spare.

I’m glad that [athletes who are looking for competition in college] are so committed to the sport already, but if you try

your hardest, care about the

team and work really hard, the time will come. That’s not the issue.

– Senior Kit Colson

I’ve made it a life goal to make my PR be better than the best girls vault ever, slightly over 16.5’, so quite a way away, but that would be a cool thing to say. – Senior Michael Vanesko
