Why does this record keep getting broken so frequently as of late?

19'1" is insane for a college vaulter. For a HS kid it's crazy. But his dad was a bad arse vaulter so he's had good coaching......And genetics.

It is because Sweden was willing to help pay for his training and further him in his efforts.

America doesn't give frick all about a junior pole vaulter

Don't think he can qualify for USA Olympic team yet. Can't hate for being eligible to go to Olympics another way
