FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Brady Palen tied Wichita State's 38-year old high jump school record with his win Friday at the Arkansas Qualifier.
"I had a good day, and I knew I could always jump that high because I've seen it on video," Palen said. "I just needed things to come together, and they came together magnificently today. I'm just really proud of myself and all my teammates out here today."
The sophomore from Beloit, Kan. cleared three-consecutive indoor personal bests, ending with a 2.22m/7'3.25" clearance which tied the school record and ties for first in the American Athletic Conference and fifth in the NCAA.
