Going up! Patrick lifts off (Updated with more details)

Fordham Prep pole vaulter Patrick heads skyward during the "Fast Times at Warwick High" track and field meet in Warwick, N.Y. on June 2.

Patrick cleared 12 feet at the Warwick event, but his personal best is now 13 feet. He jumped that high at the Catholic High School Athletic Association Championships on May 23 at Icahn Stadium in New York.

His dad, Ted, reports:
Last night (June 8) at Fordham Prep’s annual track and field awards dinner Patrick was given the award for most improved varsity field athlete.

This is the second year in a row that he won this honor. As a freshman his personal best vault was 9’-0”. As a sophomore he jumped 11’-0”.

The school record is 15’-6”.
