While 5.38 and 5.50 might pale in comparison to some American season's bests, we have 2 Canadian men over these bars both in the same weekend!

Congratulations to Jason Wurster for his top Canadian ranking at 5.50 in the Brazil meet, and congratulations also to Ryan Vu, who won the Pac-10 last weekend with 5.37 (17-7.75").

I could be wrong, but I don't think we've EVER had 2 Canadians over those heights at the same time.
