Houston bails.

It looks like he went up a pole from the previous height, which is a shame, because he looked AWESOME before that.

Bar to 5.20. Both are jumping.

Whitt bails.

I think Arnold's PR is 5.18, he ought to be able to get this, he looks good.

Bar to 5.25. Whitt misses, not enough penetration.

I forgot to update, Arnold had a VERY close miss on his first... and again on his second! He is SO CLOSE

Now Jack is solidly in the lead.

Whitt's second attempt is better but he comes down on it.

Whitt bails on his third and is done.

He looked like he had a bad day, but he really fought back and competed well to take the win and make the JR Pan Am team.
