Cal junior captures NCAA pole vault title
Staff and News Services
Saturday, June 14, 2008

(06-14) 04:00 PDT Des Moines, Iowa -- Cal junior Katie Morgan jumped 13 feet 9 1/4 inches Friday to win pole vault title at the NCAA Championship at Drake Stadium.
"This is such an amazing feeling, it hasn't sunk in yet," Morgan said. "The hard work paid off, I'm still in shock. I wanted to finish in the top eight and become an All-American, which was my first goal. I knew I had a chance if I did everything right. I took a stab at it and I won. It's a dream come true."
Morgan, who broke the Cal school record in the pole vault many times over the season, cleared the same height as Stephanie Bagan of San Diego State, Katie Stripling of Arkansas and April Kubishta of Arizona State. Morgan won the title on fewer misses.
"Katie has been one of the most consistent pole vaulters in the country this last month," said director of track and field Tony Sandoval. "With the way NCAAs go, anything can happen. It was just unbelievable. This is a magnificent thing for her and for the team. She did it because of her consistency."

Wallace wins NCAA pole vault title

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Texas freshman Maston Wallace won his first NCAA Championship on Friday after being the only competitor to clear 17-6.50 (5.35 meters) in the pole vault. He is just the third Longhorn to win an outdoor pole vault national title along with Brian Hunter (2002) and Jacob Davis (1999).

Stripling’s effort answers criticism
BY MARTY COOK

DES MOINES, Iowa - Katie Stripling might have entered through the back door, but she's strolling out the front.

Stripling finished third in the pole vault at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Friday at Drake Stadium.

The six points Stripling earned are the only ones the Lady Razorbacks have at nationals. Arkansas senior Dacia Barr is the Lady Razorbacks' remaining competitor, running the 1, 500-meter final this afternoon. Barr was fifth a year ago.

Stripling was subject to some criticism after she gained entry into the meet because Arkansas assistant Bryan Compton took advantage of a little-used rule. Stripling had finished 13 th at the Mideast Regional, apparently eliminating her from consideration for the national meet.

Compton found that if he withdrew a Lady Razorback who had finished in the top 12, Stripling would move up in the standings and qualify. Stripling had cleared 14 feet, 2 inches this year, which was tied for the second-best mark in the nation.

"They were pretty angry,"Stripling said, referring to some posts on the Web site PoleVaultPower. com. "It gave me more determination and motivation to prove people wrong. I used it to help me."

Stripling said several pole vault competitors shunned her at the meet, although she said it could be because they didn't know her.

"A couple of the girls wouldn't talk to me,"Stripling said.

Compton said Stripling's performance should stop the complaining. He said those upset with his use of the rules were just mad because they didn't use the same rules to their advantage.

"She shut the critics up on the pole vaulting Web sites and blogs,"Compton said. "They don't understand the rules. If they knew them, they would have used them, too."Stripling showed her ability at nationals, clearing all four heights flawlessly in qualifying and up to 1 13-5 / 4 in the final. She missed her

1 first attempt at 13-9 / 4 before clearing it. She missed all three attempts at

1 14-1 / 4 and her earlier miss put her in third. If she hadn't missed that attempt, she would have been in a jump-off against eventual champion Katie Morgan of California. "I wanted All-American,"Stripling said. "Once I knew I had All-American, I relaxed and wanted to see what place I could get."

The success should help Stripling's confidence, which hit bottom after her debacle at regionals. Stripling only began pole vaulting late in her senior year at Jonesboro, and then only as a lark.

"I do realize I am actually good,"Stripling said. "The selfdoubt got to me at regionals. I kept telling myself I'm good to begin with."

Arkansas Coach Lance Harter said Stripling is bubbling with talent but just has to learn to use it and trust her skill. He said he hopes the national success is the first step to her emergence as a superstar in the sport.

"Once she truly figures out how to vault, [Compton ] feels she can be just dominant,"Harter said. "She's really a novice."

Stripling said if someone had told her before the year she would be third at outdoors, she wouldn't have believed it. This season, Stripling has won conference indoors and outdoors, the first Lady Razorback to win both, let alone in the same year.

"I wouldn't have thought it would happen,"Stripling said. "It has happened so fast. It's overwhelming, but it's exciting. I want to see how high I can go."

She's already high enough to look down on her critics.

Congratulations to UW's Jared O'Connor, who placed 2nd. Here's a guy whose PR was 16-7.5 coming into the NCAA Regionals ranked 14th, then going 17-5 that day for the win - 9.5" over his previous best!

Coming into the NCAA Finals yesterday, he was forced to start at 5.10 (16-8.5) - a height that he'd never ever made before except for his win at Regionals. With apparently swirly winds at Drake, he made that on his 1st attempt, then cleared 17-2.5 - just 2.5" under his new PR - also on his 1st attempt. He's had quite the season! As an ex-Husky, I'm mighty proud of him!

[tennpolevault]

Wow, he is going to be a big time vaulter now that he's at UW and getting some confidence. He has a lot of tools!
