Q and A With Track and Field Senior Morgen Leonard-Fleckman

By Sean Wallis
Sports Information Student Assistant
Washington University in St. Louis

First of all, congratulations on winning a National Championship—that’s pretty exciting. Coming to school here three years ago, did you ever think you would accomplish what you were able to accomplish this past winter? You finished tenth in the state of Washington in pole vault your senior year of high school--- did you think a National Championship was a realistic goal?

Morgen Leonard-Fleckman: No, a National Championship was the furthest thing from my mind when I started at Washington U. At the time, my only goals were to jump a little higher and continue competing. Qualifying for nationals came as a complete shock.

Was there a point during the Championships where you realized—“Hey, I could really win this thing?â€
