That height placed seventh in the competition. Brent entered the competition at 6’ 5”, making it on his first attempt, then had third bar clearances at 6’ 7” and then 6’ 9 1/2”. He had one good at- tempt at 6’ 11 1/2”. Currently he ranks #2 in the MWC, just a quarter of an inch away from the leader from Air Force. Uldbjerg-Hansen Pulls Two Other Lobos to Nice PR’s Junior Kristian Uldbjerg-Hansen (Aalborg, Denmark) pictured to the left was very patient in the mile run. Having run many more 800’s than mile races Kristian wanted to see what the tempo was. He ran effortless- ly behind the leaders just waiting for the right moment. But once he felt the need to increase the tempo, he swung out around the lead runner, and blasted away from the competition, and never looked back, securing a fine 4:07.44 PR, knocking nine seconds off his previ- ous best. Chasing Kristian to the finish line was junior Max Wharton (Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire) who had a nice battle with teammate Michael Wilson (Sunderland, England). Last year on this weekend Max competing at the British Miler Club Sheffield Open clocked a 3:51.42 for a 1500 meters which is around a 4:10 full mile. Max blazed across the finish line behind Kristian in 4:09.59. Michael, who last year ran 4:11.30 clocked a solid 4:09.66 and almost nipped Max at the line. Currently in the Mountain West Conference, Kristian is ranked #1, Max #4, and Michael #6.
