Collins US#2 after Sugar Bowl Classic

Sean Collins made a huge jump in the rankings Saturday after clearing 17-2.25 on a 3rd attempt at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Track & Field Classic in New Orleans. Despite a crosswind that plagued the competition from the beginning, the McGill senior cleared the bar and won the event that moved him from 6th to 2nd in national rankings.

The previous day Pole Vault competition at the Texas Relays had several jumpers going 17-1 and moving Collins previous bar of 16-10 further back in the rankings.

Collins was named a New Balance All American by MileSplit earlier this week.
