MHSAA South State championship - pole vault
“She couldn’t quite get back to the record-setting heights she cleared as an underclassman, but Segroves graduates as the state’s best ever in the pole vault, both indoors and outdoors. She’ll benefit from a great Mountain West vaulting program at Air Force.”

Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-2 senior pole-vaulter won the Class 7A state outdoor championship for the fourth time this past season, clearing 13 feet to help the Indians finish sixth as a team. Segroves’ season-best effort came a week earlier with a clearance of 13-5 at MHSAA South State championships, which ranked No. 11 nationally among prep girls competitors this spring. She graduated as the state pole vault record-holder both outdoors (13-8, 2023) and indoors (13-2, 2022).
