It didn't take Brad Nakanishi long to make his presence felt in NESCAC. Brad PR'd by nearly 12 inches at his first conference championships to take home the NESCAC title as a rookie and defend his own runway. Brad has since gone on to add All ECAC and All New England honors in his time at Tufts. As a sophomore Brad continued to improve and finished the season ranked 27th in the nation. Brad is easily one of the nations vaulters to keep your eye on for years to come.

Interests: Besides obsessing over the PV? I'll have to get back to you on that one.

PRs: PV - 16-00 (4.85m)
55H - 8.98
400H - 1:01.98
400m -54.56

Why Tufts: Tufts gave me the best opportunity to do everything I wanted. Academically, socially, athletically...it's the only place that didn't ask me to sacrifice anything. Sure, that sounds like a brochure, but it's the truth.
