Mickelson Breaks Pole Vault Record At Razorback Invitational
January 25, 2019 | Track & Field

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Records were meant to be broken.
Such was the case for Mississippi State track and field's Peyton Mickelson, as the freshman cleared 3.91m (12-10.0) to break the school record in the women's pole vault on Friday at the Razorback Invitational. Emma Hunt set a personal best in the event for the second straight week, clearing 3.61m (11-10.0).
"I'm really excited for Peyton's accomplishment today," interim head coach Chris Woods said. "Anytime you break a school record, it means you're doing something right in your preparation. She and Emma have worked incredibly hard so early in their careers, and the future is bright for them."
The day started with the pentathlon, where reigning SEC Women's Freshman of the Week Asia Poe posted personal-bests in the 60m hurdles (8.76) and high jump (1.66m [5-5.25]) en route to a fifth-place finish with 3,704 points.
In the high jump, Milton Harrell tied for second, while DeVantre Young and Reggie Miller finished fourth and fifth, respectively, all clearing 2.11m (6-11.0).
To close out the day, Terryon Conwell earned eight valuable points for the MSU men, finishing second in the 200m with a time of 21.13.
"Terryon, Milton, Reggie and DeVantre all picked up big points for us today in their events. They each have a chance to help us tremendously this season, and today they showed that. We've got a big day tomorrow with several chances to score more points, and we can't wait to get going."
Alicia Viveros set a personal best in the weight throw with a throw of 15.42m (50-7.25). She will be back in action Saturday in the shot put at 2 p.m CT.
After the first day of competition, State's men are tied with No. 12 Arkansas for fourth place with 24 points. MSU's women sit ninth with 6.5 points. A portion of Saturday's action will be televised live on SEC Network starting at 1 p.m.
Next Up For MSU …
The Bulldogs will finish up competition at the Razorback Invitational Saturday starting at noon with the women's 400m. State will wrap up the day at 4:40 p.m. with the men's 4x400m relay.
