Michael Payan of Cal Poly Humboldt is this week’s FloCollege/CCAA Field Athlete of the Week after soaring to a new school record.

Payan broke a 23-year old program record in the pole vault as he cleared 5.17 meters — 16 feet 11.5 inches — at Cal’s Brutus Hamilton meet on Saturday. The freshman from Rocklin had previously met the provisional qualifying standard and improved on the mark by 3-and-a-half inches. Payan, the CCAA leader, now ranks No. 4 in NCAA Division II.

Payan set a new Cal Poly Humboldt record, surpassing the previous top mark of 16 feet, 8.75 inches by Justin Miller in 2002.
