WESTON, Conn. – On Saturday afternoon, at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven, the CIAC held its State Open Indoor Track Championship meet.
Staples High School’s Lexie Schachne won the pole vault championship, clearing 11 feet, 6 inches — just four inches short of the state record.
After she cleared 11-6, instead of trying to match the state record, Schachne elected to take it to greater heights, moving the bar to 12 feet, 2 inches. Continue reading
Following a series of inspired performances earlier in the indoor season, Welsh pole vaulter Sally Peake (coach: Scott Simpson) set another Welsh Record as she flew past a bar set at 4.42m last night in Nevers, France.
Peake will have surely reason to be happy about her result: the measure is 2 cm past the Olympic “B” standard. The young Welsh girl also attempted three leaps at the 4.52m “A” standard and, despite not clearing the height, she as very close in the attempt.
Coach Simpson was delighted by the performance, and stated there are “very good things to come” for Peake as the outdoor season approaches
Pinnacle is our competition and these are the returning vaulters and their heights from last year.

Kostas Filippidis added three centimetres to his own Greek national pole vault indoor record when he cleared 5.75m at the Balkan Indoor Championships in Istanbul, the venue for next month’s World Indoor Championships, on Saturday.
After twice equalling his former indoor best of 5.72m this winter, it was third time lucky for the 2005 European Athletics Junior Championships silver medallist in his bids to go into new territory under cover.
Turkish terrain seems to suit Filippidis as he set his Greek outdoor record of 5.75m in Izmir back in 2005 which, at the time, was the second best vault ever by a junior.

England –HOLLY Bleasdale enhanced her status as a genuine medal prospect at next month’s World Indoor Championships after winning the pole vault at the Aviva Grand Prix.
The Blackburn Harrier took top spot after clearing 4.70m to secure victory, beating former world champion Anna Rogowska from Poland in the star-studded event in Birmingham.
And the 20-year-old from Chorley, who was sharing centre stage with the likes of Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah, hinted there is more to come as she gets use to using a bigger pole and a longer run up. The UK record holder, who cleared 4.87m in France last month, Continue reading
