Brost has spent the past 3-years breaking her own state record in the pole vault. Her latest record was a vault of 13-3, on her home track at the Watoma Relays.
Leslie Brost says, "It's tough some time, when everyone wants to see a new record. There's pressure sometimes, but it's fun."
Brost will be going for his 3rd straight state title. While she usually wins with ease in South Dakota, she competes against herself and what the best vaulters in the country are doing.
Brost says, "I watch what the national marks are. That's how I compare myself with what those girls, who are awesome are doing. I want to be able to compete with those girls."
Watertown Track coach Casey Feininger says, "The thing about Leslie, she's very driven and every mark we've wanted her to set, we've reached those goals."
Leslie will vault in college at North Dakota State and she and her coach, expect her heights to continue to go up.
"It would be neat to go out and set the record again," Brost said.
The girls pole vault in "AA" starts at nine on Saturday morning at Howard Wood Field.
