Andrew Irwin is a native of Mt Ida and a graduate of Mount Ida High School.  He attends the University of Arkansas as a student and as a track and field athlete specializing in pole vaulting.  The #1 ranked U of A men’s track and field teams recently posted a school record and won five events in their invitational meet last weekend.  Irwin’s win (10 points) in the pole vault last Friday helped the Razorbacks win the event with a vault of 17’5”.  LSU vaulted players to the number 2, 3, and 5 positions behind Irwin.
