Flying high? Colorado tracksters haven’t had much opportunity to do so because of the recent back-to-back blizzards to hit certain areas.
In short, the spring weather has been a mess … again.
However, last week Vail Christian’s Cooper Daniels managed to clear 15 feet, 1 inch in the pole vault. According to the Vail Daily, Daniels, a senior, negotiated the height at the Battle Mountain Invitational in Edwards.
Daniels’ effort, accomplished in Class 2A, tops all pole-vaulters to date this season and is better than the state-meet mark of 14-9 set by Bill Culbreath of West Grand in 1984.
However, with warmer, dryer weather due beginning this weekend, meets such as the Liberty Bell Invitational in Littleton hosted by Heritage on Saturday should provide additional opportunities for better efforts in all events.
