2.15m. Just trying to do it again. Penn Relays will be fun, but after that it counts. Almost crunch time, let's go.

An article after indoor heps 2001

looks like I could tell the future...

"I don't think anyone's overjoyed with the performance," said senior tri-captain Pete Ippel, who placed third in the high jump. "We're all hurting from the fact we were seconds away from second."

But the men's fifth place belies the fact that their performance over the weekend was their best Heps in several years. Not since Cornell won the competition in 1985 has it scored as many points.

"It's very encouraging, considering that the team was last in the league two years ago," said men's head coach Nathan Taylor.

Ippel, who has clear memories of the team scoring just 20 points his freshman year and finishing last, realizes that this Heps could be a watershed moment for the program.

"It's one of the turning points," he noted. "We're in the mix [with the other Ivy League schools], and that's something we haven't been in for a while."

By the way Pizzle, I'm so so so proud of you, get your head right see those jumps in the first-person and you're going to be going 2.22. Remember, toe up *before* that penultimate flatstep. Block hard, hold up that knee, hand like a waiter, and open up *just before* you peak. "Enjoy the Ride" and celebrate in the pit...and for goodness sakes, make sure someone takes video.
