John Ryland on FIRE - 16-7! 3PRs!

[rainbowgirl28]

John Ryland did AWESOME today!!!!

He cleared 16-2 for a PR, 16-4.75 to break the 5 meter mark, and 16-7 for a school record!!!!!

WAY to go!

Also a nice job to Dub who managed to clear 5 meters, despite spraining his ankle right before he came in.

yeah, yeah, i think Johnny is all washed up, maybe he should even consider retirement...I mean, three PR's in one day...sunny 75 degrees, does it get any better than that???

no really, great job to LB, I just wish I would have been there to see it...guess I will have to wait until one of the next meets...Does that qualify John for Drake?? I really think he should go up for that meet...

[jryland]

dont you love the feeling of being the man of the hour when you pr?
maybe nobody eles feels like im the man of the hour but man it sure feels good over here where im sittin
no daniel i dont think it qualifes me for drake i think i have to jump 17'
and pretty soon too

im thinkin about retiring after today i mean its a great day for retiring
and after this new CD im about to put together within this next week im gonna have to retire and just play music!!! i hope

[RidinHigh]

Great Job John! I'm stoked that I could be around to experience everything today. There is nothing better then hearing some great music after a great day of pole vaulting. Congrats on everything achieved today and good luck on the new CD and the 17' mark. You are knocking on its door.

[jryland]

thanks man im really glad you and your mom could make it out
it was great having yall out there

[rainbowgirl28]

Here's me over 11'. I'll try and have pictures and video of John up later tonight.

[eleazar]

you only felt like the man for an hour...that should have lasted at least a month or so...anyhow, are you packing your 17' cigar around?
you may be smoking it on tuesday...hopefully next tuesday so I will be there to see it...i think 5.20 will tie the stadium record

great jumping becca...12' soon to come
