Walker still has the long tights on, even though it is probably 90 degrees on the infield.

He makes 5.65 with plenty of height! I predict some passing.

A miss for Jeremy Scott. He has a tailwind.

Sometimes the wind blows opposite ways

Pauli has some height but comes down on it and he is out.

Miles is passing.

Jeremy Scott comes down on the bar and misses his second attempt. Not sure what Norberg is doing, he must have passed to the next height.

I don't want to jinx the miracle, but J.H. looks good. He's a little familiar with the place since his AR was there in 1999. Bubba

Norberg is walking around back there, so I am guessing he'll save his jump for 5.70.

Buller must have passed to the next height.

Jeremy Scott takes his third attempt and misses. Bar is going up to 5.70.

So right now, Brad is in first, Miles in second, and Hartwig in third.

Hartwig up, he his waiting on the wind. The crowd is clapping, but way too fast of course. A close attempt! But a miss.

Walker is jumping at this height for some strange reason. He bails.

Buller passes?!

Norberg has his final attempt... it's a miss and he is done.

Miles has a fantastic first attempt clearance!

No waiting for Hartwig this time. He goes right away and has another close miss. He is still sitting in third.

Russ is walking around sneakers on. I think he is done!!!! I think the team is going to be Walker, Hartwig, Miles!!!! (but it's not for sure yet)

Hartwig has lots of time now. He paces up and down the runway.

The crowd gets a perfect clap going. Hartwig charges down and makes it!!!

Walker must have passed his remaining two at this height.
