2021 Is Here: The Girls Pre-Season Field Events Preview


Pole Vault-
2020 All-Class Best: Windsor Roberts (Sr., Downs [Tri-Valley]) 13'5.75"
Key returners: Roberts, Tori Thomas (Sr., Rock Island [Alleman]), Kolby Weiss (Sr., Bloomington Central Catholic), Lillianna Ifft (Jr., Bloomington), Shaelin Ruzich (Sr., Mahomet-Seymour)
Outlook: If we have a semblance of what was normal pre-covid, were are going to see some wonderful things in this event. Roberts became the all-time leader last summer at the Illinois Meet of Champions with her landmark performance. If injuries can stay away, we are going to see something even more remarkable occur in '21. The bar has set with Tori Thomas who has chipped her way to the top and at the writing of this, moved into the premier spot in '21. Don't forget that the Bloomington-Normal area is pole vault mecca with Kolby Weiss and Lillianna Ifft added to the mix. More to come as the season unfolds.
