Junior Andrew Stapp didn’t quite make it on this try, but he did eventually clear a personal best 11 feet in the pole vault competition.

Jesuit’s track and field team posted an impressive fourth-place finish in a 44-team, multistate field at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Track and Field Classic on March 18 & 19 at Tad Gormley Stadium in City Park.

The Jays finished with 33 points, behind only East St. Louis (Illinois), John Curtis, and Rummel.
