That means that Tim has a Personal Record of 8 feet on pole vaulting. He figured it out at the end of last season and today was his first meet of this season. 8 feet is a new record for him!

Ready, set...go!

6 feet

6 feet 6 inches

7 feet
7 feet 6 inches--this one he actually hit the bar with his behind and pushed it back so it didn't fall...totally not intentional.

8 feet--first try

8 feet--second try

Yes!

Look at him go!
Way to go, Tim!
