For the first time in his college career, sophomore Robbie Johnston does not top the NAIA pole vault list. The defending national champion's season-best 16-6 3/4 is tied for second, three inches lower than the height cleared by Mark Hollis of Olivet Nazarene.

Johnston, who owns the school's highest vault ever at 17-4, still heads what is possibly the country's most talented stable of vaulters that includes All-American sophomore Ryan Musselman, who achieved the automatic qualification standard last weekend (15-9), and junior Grant Brannaman (15-1).

I think my teammates (Lindenwood) have them beat ;)

We have this season:

John Ryland 16-4.75 (16-7 last year)
Stuart McIntosh 16-0.75 (16-4.75i this year and 16-7.25 last year)
Graham Danziger 16-0.75 (16-8 PR)
Mark Aschen 15-9 (16-1.75 PR)
Ryan Hays 15-5

And if the NAIA can ever make heads or tails of Matt Clifford's eligibility, he's jumped 16-4.75 this year.

Jason is a sweet vaulter... 17' is not a bad height by any means, but what the article implied was that Southern Oregon had the best vaulting team, and Becca was just giving statistics of Lindenwood's team to compare them. Jason put huge height on some of his jumps, and cleared 17 with ease, so yea he is a very good jumper, but Cedarville's vaulting "crew" doesn't compare to the likes of Lindenwood or Southern Oregon for that matter...
