Class 7A State Meet - Pole Vault
“Julie Segroves didn’t quite reach the heights she did as a sophomore in her signature event, but she still finished among the nation’s top 20 prep girls this spring. Though the sport advanced past the 15-foot barrier last year, until 2015, only three girls in U.S. high school history owned a clearance as high as Julie has.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-2 junior pole vaulter won the Class 7A state championship this past season, clearing 13 feet, four inches to help the Indians finish fifth as a team. Segroves set the state record in the event a year ago with a clearance of 13-8. Her title-winning height this spring ranked tied for 18th nationally among prep girls competitors.
