Buna’s Casper looking for third state title in pole vaulting
Beaumont, Texas–Being upside down in midair is why Buna pole vaulter Nicole Casper constantly strives to increase her height in the sport. But it’s also the reason why many of her classmates through the years have thought twice about joining her on the pole vault runway.”We start out with many and end up with a few,” Buna girls pole vaulting coach Rhonda Dobbins said of the number of athletes who try pole vaulting.Casper, an exception, will compete in the Class 2A state track and field meet at noon on Friday at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin. It’s her fourth appearance at the state meet, and she’s looking for her third consecutive title. She is one of two local pole vaulters advancing to state.Little Cypress-Mauriceville’s Zoe Casteel will compete at the 4A meet on Friday. Casper’s highest vault this year is 12 feet, 7 inches at the Port Arthur Regional Qualifiers in April.The 2A state record is 12 feet, 3 inches. State records must be set at the state meet. Casper, though, wants more than that; she wants to vault 13 feet.”I like heights,” said Casper, who has signed with McNeese State. “Nothing really scary has happened to me yet.”Fear, though, is a common emotion for many pole vaulters.

Linfield stands tall at Oregon Twilight
EUGENE, Ore. – The 192-mile roundtrip was worth the drive for at least three Linfield track and field athletes who set career-best marks at the Oregon Twilight, held Saturday evening at the University of Oregon’s historic Hayward Field. Misty Corwin (Sr., Waldport, Ore.) demolished her previous best career mark in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 12 feet, 6¾ inches (3.83 meters). Her effort was a 4½-inch improvement upon her personal record, but perhaps more importantly, catapulted her to sixth among all Division III competitors this year. She is now in great position to make the national tournament field, as the 22 women with the top marks receive invitations.more
Forever Soaring
There was a moment of silence at Heps yesterday for loss of Mamadou Johnson, who was a track & field star at Penn in the early 1990s. And when I say ‘star,’ Mamadou literally rose above all others. He remains the only Ivy Leaguer to clear 18 feet in the pole vault and he’d have gone higher if not for a wrist injury his senior year. more
