Returning to Moore High School four days after winning the 6A State Championship, Brandon joined with sixteen of the top vaulters in the state to compete at the 2019 Oklahoma Meet of Champions marking his final track meet as a Broken Arrow Tiger.
After the stress he had to contend with at the conference, regional, and state meets, Brandon enjoyed a meet that had no pressure on him. At his opening height of 14’9″, there were only three other competitors left. 14’9″ was his highest opening height of his career and sailed over on 1st attempt. As the bar moved to 15’3″, only Logan Young of Edmond North, and Preston Lynn of Bishop McGinness remained in the competition.
Logan was first to clear sailing over his 2nd PR of the evening on his 2nd attempt and took the lead in the competition. Preston failed to clear 15’3″ leaving only Brandon to take his 3rd attempt… a make would keep him in the competition and a miss would give Logan the win. In dramatic fashion, Brandon had plenty of height over the bar and as he fell, his chest scraped the crossbar bending it downward. As the bar slid off his chest, it snapped upward inadvertently hitting Brandon’s hand as he was trying to avoid the bar. As he landed on the pit, the crossbar remained on the pegs giving Brandon a successful vault and making him the winner of the 2019 Meet of Champions! Brandon went to take three attempts at a PR height of 16’2″ delivering a couple of very good attempts.
