Additionally, Kaven Smith-Kirk breaks the freshman school record in High Jump. He jumped 6′ 0″. The previous freshman record was 5′ 9″ set by Brad Kustaborder in 1992. Kaven’s jump places him as #5 in school history.
“Lots of other great performances, many of which we will go over in practice tomorrow,” said Miller. “Let’s keep focused on the task at hand and keep working hard!
What a fun evening! “
