BU student wins NCAA title
BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- After five years at Binghamton University, Rory Quiller can now officially call himself the best collegiate pole vaulter in the country.

In his last meet as a Bearcat last Friday, he jumped 18-feet-and-one-half-inch to win the NCAA indoor title and for that achievement, BU honored Quiller Tuesday afternoon.

Quiller is the first Binghamton student-athlete to win an NCAA title of any kind. He's also the first America East athlete to do so as well.

Quiller says he's going to take a couple weeks off from vaulting before he begins preparing for the Olympic trials in Oregon, which take place in June.
