Gallaudet University jumper Liam Painter (Edgewood, N.M.) finished third in the pole vault Sunday at the Princeton Indoor Invitational at Jadwin Gymnasium. Painter competed against three pole vaulters from Princeton University (Division I) and one from Arcadia University (Division III). Painter cleared 4.30 meters (14 feet, 1.25 inches) on his third and final try at that height. Painter attempted 4.45 meters but did not clear it in three tries. Painter's school record mark is 4.37 meters (14 feet, 4 inches) set Feb. 4 at the Richard Drake Invitational in Virginia Beach, Va., two weeks ago. This is the first Athlete of the Week honor for Painter.
