The junior from Lafayette has set national records in consecutive competitions, but the streak ended on Saturday after three attempts at 5.82m/19-1.25. At 5.18m and 5.50m, he missed on the first attempt and made the second attempt. He cleared his first attempt at 5.70m/18-8.25, which would stand as the winning mark, then moved the bar past his national record of 5.75m/18-10.25 all the way up to the 19-foot barrier.
