Kendricks, a 2011 graduate of Oxford High, has been one of the top vaulters in the world in recent years and is favored to contend for a spot on the podium. The Associated Press projected him to finish third while bookmakers across the pond have him favored to take home silver.

If Kendricks can bring home a medal, he will be the first athlete from Oxford High to do so as he has already made history by being the first Charger alum to become an Olympic athlete.
