Aide wins NAIA pole vault title
ST. LOUIS — Kelsey Aide wasn’t nearly as relaxed as she hoped to be, but it didn’t matter.

ST. LOUIS — Kelsey Aide wasn’t nearly as relaxed as she hoped to be, but it didn’t matter.
The Dickinson State junior won her third NAIA national championship in the pole vault by breaking her own school record with a leap of 12 feet, 11½ inches Thursday afternoon at the NAIA track and field national championships. Aide’s previous high mark was 12-9¾.
“I just got it done I guess,” Aide said. “I was sick of losing.”
She won back-to-back titles in the outdoor and indoor as a freshman and sophomore, respectively. Aide then finished as the national runner-up during both her sophomore outdoor season and this season’s indoor finals.
DSU coach Pete Stanton said he hadn’t seen Aide vault as well as she did.
“She hit it all day,” Stanton said. “She was solid in every vault and had three good attempts at 13-3 as well.”
Prior to leaving for nationals, Aide said she hoped to take a more relaxed attitude into the finals than she had in previous years.
That didn’t happen, but it also didn’t matter.
“I was nervous the whole time, which I tried not to be. I was a little better than usual,” Aide said. “The second I for surely won it, then I was having fun.”

Aide taking a more relaxed attitude into pole vault finals

Woosaw, Kelsey Aide. Woosaw.
Relaxation and focus is the key for the Dickinson State junior as she enters the NAIA national championships.
At least that’s what she thinks.
Aide, a two-time national pole vault champion, begins Thursday’s finals with the nation’s top qualifying height (12 feet, 9 inches) and a cooler demeanor than she did at this time last season.
“This time I just need to go and have fun like I did my freshman year and I’ll be just fine,” Aide said.
As a freshman, Aide won a national title against what DSU coach Pete Stanton called “a loaded field” with a leap of 12-9½ inches. The next winter, she won the national indoor finals with a leap of 11-11¾.
With the winning came pressure associated with championship expectations.
And Aide will be the first to tell you that in one of the trickiest events in athletics, winning every time just isn’t possible.
“It was awesome my freshman year, I was more than excited,” Aide said. “But in a way, there’s nothing to go up from there. It can only go down.”
Combined with the added pressure and an ankle injury that lingered much of her sophomore spring, Aide came up short in her quest for three straight titles. She jumped the maximum height of 11-9¾ but lost out on the national title after missing an attempt. She finished second.
This winter at national indoors, she was one of three vaulters to reach 12-3½ but lost on attempts. She took third.
“I definitely put pressure on myself,” Aide said. “Just because first of all, I hate losing. Second of all, it’s a sport where I know what I can do.”
While she wants to win, Aide also hopes to avoid the letdowns that have plagued her at the past two national finals.
“It seems like every time I lost, I went into it thinking too much and nervous,” Aide said. “I kind of came out of it not even having fun. There for just winning instead of having fun and doing the best I can.”
DSU track and field coach Pete Stanton agrees with Aide assessment that she has been putting too much pressure on herself to win at the past two national meets.
However, the coach feels Aide’s abilities outweigh any psychological impact that could derail her.
“If she does what has gotten her there, she’s going to be fine,” Stanton said.
Stanton said Aide has been recognizably more focused this season. Aide leaped 12-9 in late April at the Al Cassel Relays in Jamestown. The height is a full three inches higher than every other vaulter in the NAIA.
She’s also competing in the 400-meter relay at nationals.
“It’s the most consistent spring she’s had in her career,” Stanton said.
With a good spring and a third consecutive Dakota Athletic Conference championship behind her, Aide feels ready to take another shot at a national title — and she doesn’t want to settle for anything less.
“I’d rather just win it,” Aide said. “I’ve got a year left to make it worth it because once I’m done, I’m done. I just want to be able to look back and remember I had fun with it.”
