ITHACA, N.Y. – Freshman Dom Mikula of the Ithaca College men's track & field team was selected as Field Performer of the Week by the Liberty League on Monday afternoon, December 10.

Last Friday evening at Glazer Arena inside the Athletics and Events Center, Mikula set a new school record in the pole vault in a dual meet with Cortland. Mikula cleared 4.72 meters to break the previous record by .01 meters, set last season by Martin Desmery, as he won the event by .32 meters.

Although the indoor season is young, Mikula currently ranks second in the country in the pole vault.
