In one of the most anticipated moments of this track and field season in Minnesota, Pine Island's Jarod White pole-vaulted 16' 2" at the Section 1A Championships for a new Minnesota state pole vault record! The previous record had belonged to Mounds Views Calvin Ciganik and his jump of 16' 1.75" in 2018.
White came into the meet with a personal-best mark of 16' 0" from last year's Section 1A Championships. There he became just the third Minnesota boy to ever jump 16 feet or higher (Ciganik, Grant Krieger). He came into this meet with a seasonal best time of 15' 5", tied for the best vault in Minnesota this season with Travis Reighard.
