Zeb Udell, a senior from Dallas, Ore. (Central High School), won the pole vault at the Oregon Preview with a school-record and an NCAA Division II provisional qualifying mark of 16-6 (5.03m). He topped his own previous school-record by two inches. His vault, which is just .75 inches short of the automatic qualifying standard (16-6.75/5.05m), is the second-best in GNAC history, trailing only a 16-8.75 by Justin Miller of Humboldt State in 2002. By clearing 16-6, Udell moved into eighth place in the pole vault this season in NCAA Division II.
