Brandon competed in his final State Track meet on Friday at Moore High School and came away a Class 6A State Champion! 
Brandon started the competition at 14’0″ with only four competitors remaining and cleared on his 2nd attempt. At 14’6″ he took the lead by easily clearing on his 1st attempt with only two other competitors clearing the bar on their 2nd and 3rd attempts.
At 15’0″ Brandon was easily over the bar on his 1st attempt, but as he was falling to the pit, his left hand inexplicably hit the crossbar knocking it off the pegs. Brandon’s poles were too soft on his 2nd and 3rd attempts. Neither of the other two vaulters cleared the bar either, leaving Brandon as the 2019 Oklahoma Class 6A State Champion!
The video to the right shows the 14’0″, 14’6″ clearances, and near make at 15’0″.
Sophomore teammate Crayton Shaw jumped 13’0″ and made the podium earning a 5th place finish. On the girls side, teammate and close friend Shelbi Day jumped 10’9″ setting her outdoor PR and tied for 2nd place.
As the 2nd and final day came to a close, the Broken Arrow boys team, had a 20 point lead over Jenks going into the next to last event, the 1600m run. Both Jenks and BA had runners in the race and Jenks was hoping to close the gap, setting up a showdown in the 4×400 relay in the final event. 
But that was not what happened as BA’s Andres Chapa, ran a great race and placed 6th beating the Jenks runner by two places, increasing BA’s lead by two more points… sealing BA’s team championship, as even a 1st place finish in the 4×400 relay would not give Jenks enough points to overtake BA!
The Broken Arrow girls team finished strong as well, finishing as State Runners-up! Congratulations girls!
