Boys' Pole Vault - Saturday, 12:17 P.M.

The two vaulters who have consistently been the best in Pennsylvania this season---Hatboro-Horsham's Nick Marino and East Pennsboro's Payton Morris---will face off. Marino has been slightly better, clearing the state-leading 15-6 height twice this season. Morris cleared a PA#2 15-4 at the Kevin Dare Invitational.

Both enter the Millrose Games undefeated on the season. Though, it looks like each of their unbeaten streaks will come to an end on Saturday afternoon at the hands of Armand Duplantis. The Louisiana native broke his own national record this past week, clearing an unreal 18-9.25, which also qualified him for the world indoor champs.
