Brandon Hanoch had a special visitor at track practice yesterday. The previous BAHS school record holder in the pole vault happened to be in town from Texas traveling on business and had some spare time to stop by the track for a visit with the BA vaulters and coaches.
Aaron Smith‘s school record of 15’6″ lasted for nearly 25 years until Friday night when Brandon vaulted 16’ at Owasso. Pictured below are Aaron and Brandon standing next to the BA School Record list.
Also pictured with Brandon are a bunch of “old” Oklahoma state champion vaulters, Head BA Track Coach Scott Wilkinson (16’1″ in 1996, 14’6″ in 1994), Brandon Hanoch (2019 hopeful), Jeff Hanoch (16’0″ in 1985), and Aaron Smith (15’6″ in 1994). Also, Jake Huddleston (15’0″ in 2010) was present but not pictured.
