The Weeks sisters are U.S. #1 and 2 in the country vaulting 14-2 and 14-1. The two twins have been battling back and forth all season. Lexi holds the National Indoor High School Record of 14'03.25'' and has vaulted better for most of the season. Most recently Tori beat Lexi at the Great Southwest Classic vaulting her pr of 14-1 while Lexi only vaulted 13-6.
With the battle of the sisters in full force can anyone else step up and get the victory? Several girls in the field have vaulted 13-0 or better, including Margaret Ollinger from Alabama who's pr is 13-6.25. Ollinger is a junior, and six time Alabama State pole vault champ! Other vaulter's in the field to watch for will be the New Balance Nationals Indoor champion Kristen Denk, and Mackenzie Shell who finished third at NBNO last year.
