USATF Quotes:


Shade Weygandt - Junior Women's Pole Vault winner

On jumping well in Iowa, since she also won the Big 12 indoor championship at Iowa State this winter:

"Yeah, it seems to work out really well. I've jumped over 14 here in Iowa twice. So it was a good step from nationals (NCAAs). I didn't do horrible (9th), but I didn't do as well as I should have."

On her winning day:

"Yeah, the wind was actually great. I've heard of winds being swirly at Drake, but for me, it was great all day. I had to only wait 20 seconds that one time because of a crosswind, but for the most part, if was great. Things started off a little slow at first early on, but once I got my 13-5, it felt like I got back in my groove and I was able to jump a lot better. I actually got off the mat and was like, 'Oh man, I actually murdered a pole vault.' So it was a really good day. I was excited."

On getting the top honor after finishing second last year:

"It's really good. Me and Natalie [Willer] did the same height last year and we shared the meet record at 13-11. So it was really good to break the meet record (14-0.5) and finally win. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, but I finally was able to do that."
