    Tyler's track and field team selected the top performers in each discipline to attend the MSU True Team Invitational in Lansing, Michigan on March 18th. Tyler was one of three chosen to compete in the high jump for the school. Tyler managed to clear the opening height of 4'-11" easily enough, though he struggled at 5'-2". He successfully cleared that height on his third try, and the bar was moved up to 5'-6" for the next attempts from the field. Although he didn't make it over the bar at that height, he came very close. His successful jumps were enough to help his team take second place overall at the meet. Not too shabby considering they hadn't even practiced high-jumping yet this year!

Tyler approaching the bar...

...for his second attempt at 5'-2'...

...but he left the ground too far from the bar...

...and kept his head up too high...

...and wound up taking the bar down with him.

Tyler approaching the 5'-2" bar for attempt 3...

...and he timed his jump better...

...and kept his head in position...

...while arching his back...

...just enough...

...to successfully clear the bar...

...and breath a sigh of relief on the mat.

Tyler on the approach...

...for an attempt at 5'-6"...

...that resulted in him laying flat on the bar.

Tyler taking his final approach...

...at the 5'-6" height...

...and having pretty good form...

...as he arched his back things were looking good...

...but he caught the bar on the way down, ending his day.
