Hanson sets meet record

Phil Hanson's final prep pole vault campaign has gotten of to a good start. The senior established a new meet record at the Gene Armer Invitational meet at Urbana on Saturday. He helped lead a divided Pontiac squad to ninth place in the 22-team field.

Hanson cleared 16 feet, 4 inches in winning the event. He had gone over 16 feet earlier in the indoor season.

Hanson also scored third-place points in the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.41 seconds in the final.

pontiac isnt that small, their high school is AA. I know the guys that coach phil(i havent seen him jump though), and he is getting some good guidance both in a club in the summer and at his high school.

also, i believe he ran a 10.8(manual time) 100M as a sophomore.

and also a state qualifer in wrestling

it is nice to see a corn belt conference athlete doing well

Yeah Cory Christionson......i have known him for like 5 or 6 years.....i was really suprised when he told me he was moving south to coach at Ponitic, but he is doing a great job there.

One of those Augustana guys that are kinda crazy and just love to grip it and rip it on a huge pole.

again, i love the cornbelt confernce connection.

Cory graduated from U-High(ISU's lab school) in normal, another corn belt rival of my high school. sadly, they dont have vault anymore

im not sure if he still is, but when i was in high school, his dad was still the AD at uhigh.

I had no idea that he went there. Learn something new everyday i guess......I also find it interesting that the top 2 high school vaulters in Illinois have are coached by CCIW vaulters/coaches

Cory's a good man and great vault coach. Had the pleasure af vaulting agsinst him a couple times in college and coaching with/against him while I was at Naperville Central in 2001/2002 and he was head coach at someplace I can't remember the name before he moved to pontiac.

I believe that it was Reed-Custer High School in Braidwood, Illinois......he had a decent vaulter there too.

He was at Leyden before both.....when he got married is when he left there and went to Reed-Custer....his wife is big into track too....actually I think she is a coach at Pontiac also.
