3. Lynsie Curtis - Centralia, SO

PR - 10-6

A 12.56 all-stater in the 100 as a freshman, Curtis also saw success in the pole vault in her first try last spring. Consistently over 9-0 in her first season of vaulting, she cleared 10-0 at District 4 and then 10-6 at Sectional 2 before taking 8th with a 9-6 at the state meet. With a season of experience under her belt, Curtis will be a sneaky pick to make some noise in the state series this season as she gets in more reps on the runway.
