Alicia Rue - Armstrong

Pole vaulter Alicia Rue is soaring to new heights these days. On Saturday, the Armstrong senior cleared 13-feet-11/4-inch, by far the best vault in the state this season and one that qualifies Rue for U.S. Junior competition.

She is the first prep female vaulter to clear 13-feet in Minnesota this year. The state record is 13-feet-6 inches.

Alicia picked up where she left off, she cleared 13-feet-3 inches indoors. She also is one of the state's best hurdlers.
