Overview
- KC Lightfoot, who cleared 5.91 meters Monday night at Jordan Creek Town Center, set a meet best and retained his men's title.
- Sandi Morris won the women's event on a countback after tying world No. 1 Katie Moon at 4.75 meters, finishing with fewer misses.
- Zach Bradford took second in the men's field at 5.83 meters and Chris Nilsen placed third at 5.65, while Emily Grove and Chloe Timberg were next on the women's side at 4.55.
- The indoor runway in the West Des Moines mall put fans just feet from the action, a setup athletes said created a loud, high-energy stage.
- Several vaulters now shift to outdoor World Athletics Continental Tour contests at Drake Stadium on Saturday, with the women scheduled for 12:30 p.m. and the men for 2:30 p.m., after a hiatus reported as one or two years before this return.
