Congratulations as well to Teivaskie Lewin on punching his ticket to Eugene in the 110M hurdles. Track and field is such an amazing sport and one of only a few that showcases the individual athlete. I follow these young men and women throughout the entire season, mostly through articles, pictures, and video clips and am always amazed at the talent that USD has. Nice job everybody!

Chris Nilsen is in the June 6th issue of Sports Illustrated for breaking the pole vault record. It's in the section which lists outstanding HS performances. It also states Chris will be attending USD.

abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/ioc-strips-10-athletes-olympic-medals-doping-retests-43609692It sounds like current USD coach Derek Miles may be retroactively receiving a bronze medal for his pole vault at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Derek had finished 4th, but today the IOC disqualified the man who finished 3rd after re-testing the samples from those games. The IOC demanded the immediate return of the medal, and one can assume it will be forwarded onto Derek as the rightful owner. USD has been 'Pole Vault U' for a while now, but being able to say the program has both produced a medalist and he is currently on the staff will be another bragging point to throw at recruits.

I was just going to post this same thing. The Argus now has an article on this as well. What a great turn of events that would be for Derek.
