The following was lifted from the NAIA's daily press release relative to the outcome of the womens vault:

"Concordia's Jessie Gallaher was expected to defend her crown in the women's pole vault, but she was unable to do so after suffering a deep cut that required stitches on her hand when a pole broke during practice earlier this week. As a result of the injury, the door opened for a new champion, and freshman Kelsey Aide of Dickinson State University (N.D.) walked through with a season-best vault of 12' 9 ½", a 14-inch personal-record. Michelle Anderson of Concordia University (Neb.) was second with a leap of 12' 3 ½", edging four other vaulters who cleared the same height but had tallied more misses. "

Congratulations to Kelsey Ashley for coming through in a big way! (Is that ever a storybook outcome - win the National Title with a 14 inch PR!) Condolences to Jessie Gallaher, a terrific competitor that deserves better in her final meet of her outstanding collegiate career.

Congratulations to Kelsey Ashley for coming through in a big way! (Is that ever a storybook outcome - win the National Title with a 14 inch PR!) Condolences to Jessie Gallaher, a terrific competitor that deserves better in her final meet of her outstanding collegiate career.

That was not a 14" PR for Kelsey, she jumped 12'4 in HS. Her best this year according to the NAIA stats was 11-7 outdoors and 11-10 indoors, so either way she had a great meet

No worries Jessie, Jenn NH'd her last NAIA meet as well, and look where she is now Hope the hand heals quickly.
