Sean Collins: Blogging at Junior Nationals - Competition Day

Met Trey Hardee before competing today.

Watched the elite vaulters earlier in the day. Great jumpers and great jumps, I have a long way to go before I'm there.


Cleared a new pr of 5.45m-17'10.5". Top five all time on milesplit and tied for U.S. #1.
3rd place at junior nationals!


Great competition, congrats to Paulo Benavides on making Junior Pan-American team with a U.S. #1 mark of 17'10.5"


5000 junior women's champion, Rachael Reddy was very supportive of the Alabama athletes at junior nationals good luck to her in the future.


Long process of signing up for the U.S. National team. End of a good day continues to go on.
