Seems redundant and that one of these should have come first...

I hope he is in Austin at the Relays. I will go if I find out if he is there and to see LSU. If you’ve never been, I would recommend it.

Sign any recruit in any sport with the last name Duplantis.

Isn’t that rich? Lafayette boys can actually grow up to be whatever they want.

So he sets world record at 5.88, but finished 3rd behind two others at 5.93???

Did the other two not qualify for “junior” world record?

The other 2 guys are professionals, and are the top 2 vaulters in the world. Mondo is still in high school, so he is considered a "junior" participant.
