Badger Beall contributed a significant amount of points and leadership as a co-captain as the men’s track & field team gained MIAA championships in 1982 and 1983.

However, he is best known for clearing the bar at 14’ 6” to win the MIAA individual championship in the pole vault in 1985, and that continues to stand as the school record. Badger remembers the performance as it was his first competition after a hamstring injury.

Badger had twice been MIAA runner-up. He cleared the bar at 14 feet in 1983 and at 13’ 6” in 1984
