How cool was THIS? Two school records, same event, same meet! Freshman Noah Brown (above picture, from last week at the Armory) had a breakthrough afternoon and evening at the NYC Gotham Cup, clearing 4.40 meters (roughly 14 feet, 5.25 inches) and placing second in the event. Earlier in the day, graduate student Jessica Ippolito (picture by Noah) debuted on the Marist team with a leap of 3.20 meters (roughly 10 feet, 6 inches). We just met Jess yesterday! She stopped down to McCann to pick up a uniform and some team gear. Jess just started in the DPT (physical therapy program). She vaulted for URI for three years and had an extra year of eligibility, thanks to Covid. We're happy to have her, and thrilled at Noah's progress as well. Neat!
