Former Louisiana Tech pole vaulter Erik Magnusson's son, Mikel, won first place in the pole vault at the Class 5A State Meet at Gulf Shores, Ala., and credits "his father's advice" as one of the reasons.
A post on the Dekalb County Times-Journal on Monday (5-9-2011) tells about the senior's fourth time to vault in the state championships. Read "Magnusson wins state pole vault title" at http://times-journal.com/sports/arti...cc4c03286.html.
