Elizabethtown Sophomore Kevin Clark Finishes Fourth in Pole Vault at NCAA Division III Indoor Championships, Earns All-America Honors

NORTHFIELD , Minn. --- Elizabethtown College sophomore Kevin Clark (Horsham, PA/Hatboro-Horsham) finished fourth in the nation in the pole vault at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships, hosted by St. Olaf College, Friday afternoon. By placing in the top eight, Clark becomes the first Etown pole vaulter ever to earn All-America honors.

Clark cleared a maximum height of 16’5-1/2â€Â

Kevin did a great job and broke the 5 meter barrier for the first time. Not too bad for not having an indoor facility. Getting beat by 3 guys from the same school is a little rough though... LAX did a great job placing 4 in the top 8 and I look forward to meeting up with them again at outdoor nationals.

I was also very impressed with Kyle Calvert, the freshman from Loras. He is much smaller than most vaulters, but he knows how to compete and he showed a lot of character and determination in his first national meet. I think he is going to be a solid performer over the next several years.
