Шей Сталкоп стала чемпионкой Region 5 и 7 в прыжках с шестом

During her sophomore track and field season, Northview's Shay Stallcop became one of the top pole vaulters in the Wabash Valley. The sophomore finished second at the Terre Haute North Sectional with a height of 10-00, which punched her ticket onto the Brownsburg Regional. There, Stallcop wrapped up a record-setting season by finishing 13th overall with a height of 9-06. Stallcop has continued to work during the offseason. And over the weekend at the USATF Region 5 and 7 Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships held at Indiana State University's Gibson Track and Field Complex. Stallcop added to her trophy case by becoming the 15-16 Division champion with a height of 8-10.75. "We're very happy with Shay for continuing to work on pole vaulting during the offseason," said Northview girls track and field head coach James Grounds. "Pole vault is a very technical event, so it requires a lot of extra work if you're going to compete at a high level. "Her mom, Sara, who is one of our assistant coaches, has put in a lot of extra work to help our pole vaulters throughout the season. Shay's also been working with a pole vaulting group based in Terre Haute," Grounds continued. "Between the pole vault group and her mom, she's in great hands to continue to lead our pole vaulting group to higher heights - pun intended." Stallcop wasn't the only pole vaulter from Clay County to take home a title at the USATF Region 5 and 7 Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships as Clay City's Lilly Riedel won the 17-18 Division with a height of 9-10.50.
