They are now switching to the the normal, pink crossbar ends, I assume that is in hope the bar will blow off less often.

Walker passing again, I am unsure if he will take any more jumps. He has sneakers on.

Mark Hollis makes it! He clears 5.70 on his first for a season best and continues to have the lead.

Hollis has a great shot at making the team. Even if everyone else makes on their first, they will at best tie him.

Stevenson bails.

Colwick misses. My last statement was wrong, if Colwick had made it he would have passed Hollis, but now they both have one miss.

Announcer says 5.70 is the highest outdoor mark by an American male (haven't been many outdoor meets for men)

Jeremy Scott has a big clearance! He moves into second (two misses total).

Miles misses, he knocks off the bar on the way up.

Second attempt at 5.70.

Stevenson up. He makes it clean! He bows to the crowd and moves into third place.

Walker pulls out a pole and has his spikes back on, so he clearly is going to jump at 5.75.

Colwick up for his final attempt.
