Summary

Addison Kleinke of Churchill High received fifth place at the USATF U20 national championships held at Hayward Field on May 18. She achieved a height of 13 feet, 3.5 inches, marking her best performance of the season. This result follows her successful conclusion of high school competition, where she became the first Oregon prep girl to win four consecutive pole vault championships.
