Athlete Quotes - Jr. Men’s Pole Vault

Jack Whitt – Winner Jr. Men’s Pole Vault

On the win:
“Really all day I struggled with my run but put together my best run at the end. I came out here with the goal to win but I really wanted to get a record attempt in as well today. That just didn’t work out for me, especially with the wind picking up as we went on.
