The Baylor junior cleared 5.95m (19-5½) at the Texas Tech Invitational in Lubbock. That came on his second attempt at the height. Lightfoot had a clean sheet before then.
Lightfoot also matched 2015 The Bowerman finalist Shawn Barber for the most 19-foot clearances in collegiate indoor history with nine. He entered the meet with seven, got his eighth earlier in the series when he made quick work of 5.85m (19-2¼) and well, you know the ninth.
