NAIA Pole Vaulters win at Pole Vault Summit

Unread postby rainbowgirl28 » Mon Jan 22, 2007 8:07 pm

A number of pole vaulters with ties to NAIA schools competed at the National Pole Vault Summit, held at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, on January 19-20.

Jessie Gallaher from Concordia University (Portland) won the Collegiate Women's competition with a jump of 13-7.25. This is just under her best of 13-8, set last summer in Seattle, and is the top collegiate mark in the country against all divisions. Her jump qualified her to the USA Track and Field Indoor Championships, where she hopes to follow in the footsteps of former Roberts Wesleyan vaulter Jenn Stuczynski who won the 2005 USA Track and Field Indoor National Championships while competing for Roberts Wesleyan.

Stuczynski, now competing for adidas, won the Elite competition at the Summit with a jump 15-5, currently tied for the world indoor leading mark, and making her the second best American female vaulter of all-time.

Jason Scott from Cedarville University tied for first in the Collegiate Men's competition with a personal best vault of 17-6.50.

This is the first year that pole vaulters representing NAIA schools won both the men's and women's collegiate competition at the Summit. The event drew over 1000 competitors and 2200 attendees.

Jessie still has a higher PR than all the other girls in Division I (13-8) at least from what everyone jumped last year.
