DURHAM, N.C. – In the final installment of a three-part series with Duke's qualifiers for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, GoDuke.com sat down with junior Megan Clark and freshman Madison Heath to learn more about the Blue Devil pole vaulters.
Duke boasts one of the top women's pole vault duos in the nation, led by Clark in what has been a stellar junior campaign. After placing second at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a clearance of 14-9.00 (4.50m) to tie the ACC record and garner first team All-America honors, winning the women's pole vault at both the indoor and outdoor conference meets and being named the 2015 ACC Women's Indoor Field Performer of the Year, Clark heads to Eugene tied with Memphis' Carolina Carmichael for the third-best clearance in the nation this season. Competing at the Duke Invitational earlier this spring, Clark set the outdoor school record and the Duke facility record with a 14-9.00 (4.50m) performance.
Heath joins Clark in the competition as one of the strongest rookies the Blue Devils fielded this spring. Notching a personal-best height of 13-9.25 (4.20m) at the Mt. Sac Relays in April, Heath is just one of two freshmen that qualified for the women's pole vault.
Clark and Heath will vie for the national title tonight at 7:45 p.m. (ET). Duke joins Arkansas and Memphis as the only schools that qualified more than one student-athlete in the women's pole vault.
