The 5-foot-4 junior set a state record in the pole vault this past winter, and her best effort of 13 feet, two inches ranked as the nation’s No. 9 performance among prep competitors during the indoor track season. Kelleher has won the state indoor pole vault championship in each of her three varsity seasons, while she captured the event outdoors at the Division 1 state meet and the Meet of Champions in both 2018 and 2019. She placed sixth at the New Balance Nationals Indoor in 2019.
