Pole Vault Summit 2005

Lindsey Regan, the Easton junior, upped her state-leading pole vault height to 12-06 at the annual Pole Vault Summit held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Eric Sparks, Hickory, cleared 15-02 to lead the PA boys. Amber Gaffey of Susquehanna Community, cleared 10-06, and Julia Green, Emmaus was over at 10-02. Chartiers Houston\'s Buddy Rose set a PR at 13-10. Pennridge\'s Scott Sherwood cleared 13-08, while State College\'s Pat Campolongo was good over 13-02.

Great Bridge\'s Michael Morrison and Western Albemarle\'s Ashley Early ventured out west to Reno, Nevada to participate in what has become one of the premier pole vault events in the nation among high school, collegiate, and professional athletes at the Pole Vault Summit. At the Pole Vault Summit, Morrison and Early cleared heights at which have never been reached known to the days of MileStat.com coverage within the state nor to any state meet records. Morrison hit a height of 16 feet and 2 inches, while Early cleared a height of 12 feet and 2 inches. Early\'s mark can be verified as being a \"state records\" for either indoor or outdoor competition, while Morrison\'s is a new state record for indoors. There is no official list maintained by the VHSL or any governing body in the state of state record performances recorded outside of state meet competition, but is something that MileStat.com is hoping in the near future to compile and take charge with assistance from track historians within the state.
