Tori Thomas- handles pressure as well as any kid directly or indirectly in the state of Illinois. The senior from Rock Island Alleman is fast on the runway and that is an advantage to getting up and high over the bar. In January, Thomas made history clearing 13'6" at an indoor meet in Missouri.
The gravy train did not stop for Thomas once the outdoor season commenced. She cleared over 13-7 several times including a monster US#5 13-9.25 which is the state's all-time best! The talk now is of 14-feet. It will be warm and the atmosphere is ripe for possibly a 14-foot effort!
