Chris Nilsen has never been one for partying.
While an adrenaline rush for many college students is heading out to the local bars and parties on the weekends, Nilsen gets his adrenaline by flying 19 feet in the air while clasping a long fiberglass pole.
“My definition of fun is a little different than that of the average college student,” Nilsen said with a laugh on Thursday, a day after claiming his second NCAA DI pole vaulting title.
