Senior Brent
Dioniso (Santa
Maria, CA) is
pictured to
the left get-
ting ready to
scale 6’ 9 1/2”,
which is a new
indoor PR. 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.
