South Dakota senior Chris Nilsen highlighted six Coyote event champions at Saturday’s Adidas Classic inside the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln.
Nilsen vaulted an indoor best of 19 feet, ¾ inch, to break his own South Dakota school record and Devaney facility record.
The vault also gives Nilsen sole possession of the NCAA lead this season, clearing a centimeter higher than Baylor’s KC Lightfoot.
