How high can Rachel Homoly climb?
Sky is the limit for Liberty's Rachel Homoly...and that may not even be true.
Homoly just continues to push the idea about how high a Missourian female pole vaulter can climb. Last season, she cleared 14-0 at the Class 5 State Championship, capping off a season in which she won all 10 of the meets in which she competed.
The 14-0 mark was no fluke. She had already cleared 13-6 five times up to that point and had cleared 14-0 indoor.
She's steadily climbed from her 13-0 mark in the open events of the 2020 spring track and field "season." The freshman, sophomore, junior, and overall state records are all hers. Now a senior, committed to the University of Arkansas, the only thing Homoly has left to do is challenge the national meets and record (14-9.25).
Is 15 feet on the horizon? If so, she'd be the first high schooler to ever do it, a feat that would cement her legacy as the best high school vaulter of all time.
