The Penn Relays might need to invest in some higher standards after Friday's competition where Victor Olesen vaulted a new meet record of 17-0.25. With that clearance he became the first to clear 17 feet at Penn Relays and did so as a sophomore.

In the competition itself his height progression was as follows below.
