A series of injuries derailed Stacy Dragila’s pole vaulting career, but the 36-year-old is back in Idaho with her focus on Beijing.
The 2000 Olympic gold medalist and three-time world champion is on the comeback trail from her second Achilles surgery in two years, and her journey brings her to the Treasure Valley on Saturday.

The Blue & Orange Classic begins at 9 a.m. at the Jacksons Track at the Idaho Sports Center in Nampa and will feature college athletes from Boise State, Arizona, California and Stanford among others. The women’s pole vault is scheduled for 1 p.m.
