The session two men battled brilliantly down the stretch with seven vaulters making marks of 4.25m (14-00) or above.
The meet performances were accented by the frequent use of costumes ranging from simple superhero shirts to gold body suits (see the photo gallery). Costumed in swim trunks and matching goggles, Regis Jesuit's resident decathlete Jason Lewis won the 17-18 division title with a vault of 4.4m (14-6).

Manson's 4.55m (15-00) effort placed him atop the 15-16 division making the Mansons two for two on the day.
