Reid cleared a career-best 11-feet-3 at the Niles West Sectional, which places her in a tie for the fifth-best pole vault at sectionals.

Brunoforte vaults to Long Island record
St. Anthony’s senior Mike Brunoforte set a Long Island pole vault record Saturday in the Loucks games at White Plains with a jump of 16 feet, one inch.Brunoforte is only the second Long Islander in history to clear 16 feet, according to pole vault coach Jim Henderson. Nick David of Mount Sinai had the old Long Island record of 16-0 in 2007. Brunoforte’s winning mark was also a St. Anthony’s school record and a meet record, Henderson said. It is also the top jump in New York State this season and the 11th best in the nation. more

Candles raised for vaulter Lillian
Hundreds come out to remember Lillian Pagenstecher, a caring, vigorous 21-year-old killed by meningitis–The University of Oregon student who died Friday of bacterial meningitis survived a bout with the same disease here during her freshman year — and then both of her younger twin brothers came down with it four months later, their father said Sunday.Both the brothers survived that infection but remain at risk for contracting the disease again because of a genetic protein deficiency, said Gerhard Pagenstecher. “It’s frightening,” he said. In an interview prior to the vigil Sunday afternoon, Gerhard Pagenstecher said his daughter, a psychology major with an interest in nursing, was athletic and outgoing, a lover of sports from club soccer to pole vaulting. He and his wife, Toni, were at their 21-year-old daughter Lillian Pagenstecher’s bedside when she died Friday afternoon at Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield.They returned to Eugene on Sunday for a candlelight vigil organized at the UO by the Chi Omega sorority, where Lillian Pagenstecher was a member.In a 9 p.m. ceremony outside the Erb Memorial Union attended by more than 1,000 people, Lillian was described as warm, energetic, caring and fun. Scores of young women in Chi Omega sweatshirts sobbed and laughed as they shared recollections.
Interim UO president Robert Berdahl called the large crowd “a remarkable tribute to the way she lived her life.”
The mostly student crowd fell silent when an unsteady Toni Pagenstecher took the microphone. She spoke of the joy of running the Eugene Half-Marathon with Lillian just last month. Continue reading
Pole vaulter Steve Hooker conquers his vertigo to qualify for London
LONDON-BOUND Olympic champion Steve Hooker has revealed a bout of vertigo almost forced him to cancel the Friday night showcase that qualified him for August’s Games. Hooker was successful in having a special meet sanctioned by Athletics WA at his private training facility at the Midland Railway Workshops.In front of about 150 VIPs, he soared over 5.72m to book a spot for London.Hooker said a bout of vertigo almost resulted in him cancelling the night. “The last two weeks have been the toughest since January,” he said. “I’ve had something going on, a weird kind of vertigo thing, an inner ear issue, where I’ve been getting dizzy at times. “There were times where things would get a bit shaky, my vision would go and I’d feel a bit wonky. “That’s why over the past few days I was nervous about whether I’d jump.” An emotional Hooker clenched both hands into fists, hunched over and let out a victorious scream after he cleared the Olympic qualifying mark on Friday night, ending a form slump that had plagued him since last year’s world championships in August, where he “no-heighted” in his title defence. The crisis of confidence then forced Hooker to withdraw from the Australian domestic season. Friday night’s leap marked the 29-year-old’s first competition off a full-length run-up since the worlds. A humble Hooker said the battle for form proved the wake-up call he needed and he warned: “I’m hungry for it and I’ll fight for it”, ahead of his third Olympic Games. more

Holly Bleasdale’s fitness tips
Holly Bleasdale is Britain’s number one Pole Vaulter, and she is working with the SUBWAY® brand on the Train Hard. Eat Fresh™ campaign to encourage an active lifestyle. She joins other sporting greats as a SUBWAY® Famous Fan. Whether in training or taking a rest day, there’s a Sub on the menu to fuel everyone’s day
- Always warm up and warm down before you start exercising. It sounds obvious but you’d be surprised by how many people skip it! It’s always hard to recover from an injury, spending 10 minutes ensuring you warm up and down properly is the best precaution.
- Try different supports to find one you really love. I previously trained as a gymnast and also took part in a heptathalon before taking up pole vaulting. Playing different sports ensures you don’t get into a boring routine and also engages different muscles, giving you the best possible workout.
- Don’t ban anything from your diet. I always find that when I don’t tell myself no, I immediately crave it more! Instead have a varied diet and allows myself to have healthy treats. I often head down to my local Subway store to pick up a Low Fat Sub when I’m on a rest day. Continue reading
