I thought all the men vaulters did well for being the first meet. Solovev is the real deal. He will score many points this year. I can't believe how big he is. I am guessing 6'6". I also loved his blue leg warmers.

When I saw he officially enrolled I figured you'd enjoy watching a vaulter of that caliber! We're gonna have some fun cheering him on!! Him and Keaton Daniel of Kentucky will be battling for this elusive 10 points! If we have any chance at a natty, those 10 points in the pole vault can be huge! Mann III also looked good too! I bet he goes 18 or close to it this year!

I really like this guy. I think he has the potential for great things. Before today I just wanted to see a 19 vault. Now I am thinking 20.

Outstanding Performances

Aleksandr Solovev
In his first meet in America, Solovev cleared a height of 18'3 on his first attempt to move to the second highest jump in school history and almost for certain book a spot for nationals! His PR is 19'1.5, the sky is the limit for this young man!

Auhmad Robinson
He blazed through a 300 with a time of 32.34 breaking the school record, which is the 4th fastest time and makes him the 3rd fastest performer at the event in NCAA history. I'm excited to see how close to 44 he can get indoors, and I bet he breaks it outdoors!

Zack Munger
Just a sophomore, Munger ran a 16 second PR in the 3000 to move to 3rd in school history! His 8:03 is just behind Henry Lelei and Eric Casarez! He had a great cross season, so that momentum has carried over in a great way! Remember his name!

Megan Roberts
After redshirting last year, the redshirt freshman Roberts ran exceptionally well in her track debut for the maroon and white! The runner she is now to where she was in high school is unbelievably impressive! It's a testament to her character and hard work and I'm excited to see what else she'll do this season! 9:38 is an amazing time!

Gavin Champ
Aggieland we have a triple jumper! Champ, a transfer from USC, had never surpassed 50 feet indoors his first two collegiate seasons, he did so 5 times today, beating his outdoor PR 3 times as well for a 52'2 jump! What an Aggie debut!

Best Finish Line Celebration
Bryce McCray - 4x400
Dude actually started doing basketball moves as the Tennessee guys laid on the floor tired from a race LOL, but what's even funnier is we may be better than Tennessee in basketball

Zack Munger and Megan Roberts - 3000
Loved seeing the emotion on their faces as they crossed the finish line! Hard work pays off!
