On January 27th, Bryan “Peanut” Lay soared to a new personal best in the pole vault when he cleared 14′ 0″ at the McNeese Indoor II High School Invitational, the highest finish among any Louisiana high school vaulter. The height broke his own Quitman High School and Jackson Parish record of 13;9″ set a few weeks ago at the LSU Indoor Qualifier. As result, Lay has been nominated by MileSplit LA as Boys Performer of the Week along with 8 other athletes across the state.
