Jake Kruger added height to his provisional qualifying mark in the pole vault, and, for the second time this season, Jake Courrier set a new school record in the 35-pound weight throw, breaking the record he set just a few weeks prior. Courrier broke his Feb. 5 record by 11 inches with a toss of 52-11 1/2.
The record has been broken three times now this indoor season, with Ralph Rosario setting the first new record in the first meet of the season.
