USATF Quotes:


Kyle Ballew - Junior Men's Pole Vault winner

On his winning day:

"It was definitely hard to get started. I had a third attempt make on my second bar and that's kind of discouraging on some points, but I tried to stay focused. I knew what I came here to do and that was to compete. So I got right back in there to try and get some first attempt bars, and that's what it came down to in the end."

On his winning vault, which equaled his PR:

"I actually went up to a stiffer pole to make sure I had enough gas in it to get over the bar. And it ended up paying off big with that first attempt clearance. So I'm glad of that."

On just missing a PR at 16-10.75, just hitting the bar on his way down on his first attempt:

"I got at least one good look at it. But it's not discouraging when you miss a bar because when you come that close, you obviously know you just need to make a couple of minor adjustments and you can definitely come back on the next attempt and get it. But I was kind of dealing with some wind that was shifting a little and I was starting to get a little fatigued too at that time."

On what it means to be a USA Track & Field junior champion:

"It hasn't really sunk in yet."

Way to represent LA Unified School District, Kyle!
