SEATTLE –
Sophomore Amanda Moll, from Olympia’s Capital High School, turned in without question the greatest pole vault series in NCAA history today, breaking the collegiate record not once, not twice, but three different times at the Don Kirby Elite Invitational. Moll became the fourth American woman ever, and the first collegiate, to clear 16-feet, which is also the best clearance in the world in 2025.
Moll, who with her twin sister Hana has been breaking age-group records for several years, did her best to top the World Record run on Friday by the Husky men’s distance medley relay. Three straight NCAA Records may have done just that.
The NCAA Record of 15-7 had stood since 2015, set by Demi Payne of Stephen F. Austin. Amanda finally topped that today at the Albuquerque Convention Center, as she cleared 15-7 1/4 on her first attempt. Hana went out today at 15-3 1/2 after making 14-11 1/2.
Amanda then set the bar at 15-9 1/4 or 4.81-meters, and she cleared that on just one attempt, the day’s second NCAA Record.
From there she went for the even 16-feet or 4.88-meters, a true hallowed mark in the sport. The only Americans to make that height are a trio of Olympic Medalists: Jenn Suhr, Sandi Morris, and Katie Moon. The Gold Medal-winning height at the 2024 Paris Olympics was 4.90, or 16-0 3/4 and only Gold Medalist Nina Kennedy cleared it.
Moll missed her first attempt, but on her second try she flew up and over, brushing the bar lightly but it was never in danger of falling. She was mobbed on the mat by her sister and the rest of the Huskies down in New Mexico. Amanda chose to stop her competition at that point and did not continue for a possible fourth record. Her 16-foot clearance is the first in the world this year, and is higher than Moon’s previous world-leading 15-10 from earlier this week in France.
