Senior Benoit Skilton misses his final jump at 14 feet for pole vault at the Division 2 Outdoor Track and Field Championship meet at Merrimack College. When asked about a message he would give to anyone, he replied, "Never give up. There is never a single time where giving up is the best option... Every jump is different. Every jump is a chance to clear [the bar]." Skilton tied the Algonquin school record again and his own personal best of 13'6."
