Pole Vault
2019 State Champion: Zach Frye (Sr., Roselle [Lake Park]) 15'3"
Key returners: Frye, Andrew Saloga (Sr., Aurora [Marmion Academy]), Liam McGill (Jr., Bloomington), Trison Paul (Sr., Belleville East), Nate Bermes (Sr., Maple Park [Kaneland]), Kyler Probst (Sr., Maple [Kaneland])
Outlook: The overall stats from a year ago were average but the top three performers from last year's state meet are back. Led by defending champ Zach Frye, we should see a boost in production and someone clearing the 16-foot mark and beyond. Andrew Saloga and Liam McGill will be hot on Frye's trail.
