“Derek Hoffman for the 3rd time in the last 4 weeks has set a new record in the men’s pole vault with vault of 13-00.00 even,” added Coach Allen Friesen.  “This very impressive if you consider that Derek does not get to vault during the week but just do drill work.”

Cory Logsdon (SO, Ft.

“We had a lot of kids get PR this weekend we are peaking at the right time,” commented Head Track Coach Allen Friesen.  “I believe and the kids are working harder than ever. We have two weeks before we head to Conference, which gives us time to find tune things.”

Dana will travel to the Wildcat Indoor Open on the campus of Wayne State College on February 9.
