Schipper skied to new heights and a new conference record in the pole vault at the Hillsdale Invitational over the weekend.
The senior is now No. 1 in the Division II with a clearance of 5.40 meters (17’ 8.5”) to pass Cedarville All-American sophomore Tommy Ansiel.
Schipper cleared the record-breaking height on his 11th and final attempt, incrementally passing tests of 5.20 and 5.30m along the way.
His new career-best height is an automatic-qualifying mark for nationals in Texas later this spring.
