FSU's Janson sets NCAA record in pole vault
DEMOCRAT STAFF REPORT

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Florida State's Lacy Janson became just the second woman in NCAA history to clear the 15-foot mark in the pole vault, breaking the national record in the pole vault on Thursday at the ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Janson's mark of 15- 1/4 bests the vault of UCLA's Chelsea Johnson (15-foot) in 2004. Janson, a five-time All-American, set the school record just two weeks ago in the Texas Relays (14-7 1/4 ).

She is the only woman in league history to win four indoor and outdoor pole vault titles.

yeah she was cruisin all day. really looking great on the runway.

pole was a 14'7 180. the amazing thing is her first attempt had massive height, but she actually came down on it a bit

4.58 clear still had the standards at 80, and wasn't even her best technical jump of the day. much more to come from her

"good technique" & "Lacy Janson" should NOT be used in the same sentence...

That said, if she develops average technique, she'll vault 17'. absolutely the most raw potential/talent of any female to pick up a pole.

Any idea how high she was holding? It looks like ~14-0 from the video.

Lacy is actually 5'10" tall, but she is smoking fast on the runway. She beat me in a 100m dash, but I suck at running!
