IAC BOYS TRACK & FIELD: DOUBLE-WINNER CHANDLER BREAKS STADIUM RECORD IN POLE VAULT (24 PHOTOS) (2019-05-17)

WOLVERINES PLACES FOURTH IN LARGE SCHOOL RANKS, TIGERS SIXTH IN SMALL SCHOOL

Valley Sports Report
T-BURG - Waverly junior Isaac Chandler soared higher than anyone before him, clearing the bar at 14-feet, 9-inches to set a new stadium meet record here Friday at Day 2 of the league track & field championships.

"I really wasn't going for the meet record," Chandler said. "The New Balance national standard was 14 feet, 9 inches and that's what I was really going for."

"It's a fantastic jump for him," said Waverly head coach Dave Hogan. "I know he was looking to go higher than his 14. He hit 14-3, went over 14-9 no problem, then had good attempts at 15, so I'm very, very happy, very happy."

Chandler has put a lot of time and effort into his vaulting, and has been frustrated at times by the weather.

"He's put in a ton of hours of work, a lot carrying over from indoor track," said Hogan. "He went 14-6 in indoor, now he's coming into outdoor.

"The weather hasn't cooperated fully and he's been a little troubled by that, but on days when the weather's held out, he's shown up to practice and performed," noted Hogan. "Then, we get these meets where we get good weather finally, and he's really performed. It's good to see."

While the weather hasn't been very cooperative, he still managed to win the IAC divisional meet, as well as the Twin Rivers, Legends of the Night, and Fast Times invitationals, and a couple of IAC dual meets.

"My season-best was 14 feet," Chandler said. "This season hasn't been looking well, but I took the division so I'm excited about that."

Chandler also won the 400-meter hurdles, and sophomore Collin Wright earned his second win of the weekend in the 3,200-meter run.

Freshman Matt Watson logged a pair of second-place finishes to lead Tioga's efforts Friday.

The Wolverines finished fourth in the Large School standings, while the Tigers finished sixth in the Small School ranks.
