Yes/No: Will a Gopher Beat an Olympic Champ?

The University of Minnesota Men's track team will celebrate their Big Ten Indoor win and 8th-place NCAA finish with a well-deserved trip to Arizona. The Gophers, along with other northern schools including North Dakota and South Dakota, will compete in the Baldy Castillo Invitational hosted by Arizona State.

Yes/No will follow the team south, too ...

Y/N: Will a University of Minnesota athlete win the Pole Vault at the Baldy Castillo Invitational over a field that includes Olympic Champion Nick Hysong.

Nick Hysong was the 2000 Olympic gold medalist in the Pole Vault. This year, Hysong has vaulted as high as 17-6 3/4 . The Gophers have entered many of their top vaulters in this event; Big Ten champ Ben Peterson has matched Hysong's vault of 17-6 3/4 this year. Brock Spandl will also compete for the win and has 17-3 1/4 credentials this year. Other Gopher stars in this event include Jack Szmanda and Joe Plencner, who both vaulted 16-8 3/4 indoors. Plencner has an outdoor best of 17-2 3/4.

My answer: Yes

It was a very low-scoring Pick Ten last week. The winner was Ryan Aylesworth with nine points and thirteen of the twenty two contestants posted a zero for the week.

After seven weeks of Yes/No, there are four contestants who are in first place with six points: Gloria Jansen, Jessie Schoen, Toby Hatlevig and Chad Bjugan.

Good luck and thanks for playing Yes/No on DtB!
