Girls Pole Vault - Not a Lofty Night, But Veith Gets MR
By John Sullivan
With a field of 35 boasting 4 athletes over 13-0, 3 more over 12-9, and numerous current and prior US class and age record holders, this event was highly anticipated. But, as often happens, it can be hard to meet lofty expectations – no pun intended.
Only 11 girls remained after the smoke cleared at 11-10. Next up was 12-4. After each athlete had made two attempts, it was looking grim as only US#1 Homestead IN jr Katie Veith (left, photo by Greg Armstrong) was successful. However, 3 others managed 3rd attempt clearances and it looked like things might heat up. But only Veith made the subsequent 12-10, and just like that, the competition was over.
Veith went on to break the meet record with a 13-2.50 vault before bowing out at 13-6.50.
After the event, Veith said, “I felt kind of flat. We had a 12-hour drive from Indiana and that may have been a factor.”
Veith made 14-0 indoors and had cleared 13-9 a few weeks ago. “I moved to a bigger pole at 13-2.50 and missed twice. (Then) I switched back to a smaller pole for my make. The same at 13-6.5 (2 misses with the bigger pole), but then the smaller pole just didn’t seem to have enough to get me over that height on my final try.”

The Hoosier State's just loaded with PV potential.
Just ask Katie Veith, the new NON champion and record-breaker, a junior
out of Fort Wayne, Indiana's Homestead High.
"We have so many great coaches up there (in the state)," she said.
"Everything seems to be coming together for me, like the training, and everything
else. We just seem to have a lot of talent."
Her name will be in the books, now that she's cleared 13-2 ½ to erase the
13-1 ½ mark shared by three NON predecessors.
This was a triumph of perseverance. She had misses at 12-4 ¾ and 12-10 ¾
on the way up, and two misses before clearing the 13-2 ½ winner. Her day ended
with three unsuccessful cracks at 13-6 ½.
"I didn't even know what the meet record was," said Veith, who'd done 13-9
this spring. "So to go home with a meet record, that's awesome, even though I
was hoping to go higher and maybe break the 14-foot barrier (national record
altitude.).
"I wasn't at my best physically, after a 12-hour car ride. But I love the
people here. The officials are so nice, and the competition is so great."
Sharing second at 12-4 ¾ were Akron, Ohio's Carrie Keyes and New Orleans'
Katelyn Rodriguez.
Super freshman prospect Shade Weygandt of Mansfield, Texas cleared 11-10 ¾
for fifth.
