Kendricks breaks bubka’s meet record; peinado comes in 2nd at Rome diamond league

It was a busy weekend for TeamESSX athletes and Sam Kendricks showed once again why he’s a World Champion by breaking Sergey Bubka’s 27-year old meet record at the FBK Games in Hengelo, Netherlands. Sam jumped all but one bar on his first attempt, including the meet record 5.91m/19’4.25”. Sam’s next meet is June 13 at the Oslo Diamond League.

Robeilys “Ruby” Peinado had a very successful weekend as well. Ruby cleared 4.66m/15’3.5” for a season’s best at the Rome Golden Gala to tie for 2nd place. Ruby also got to take some shots at a new PR in 4.76m/15’7.5”.
