Garcia, Childers make cut in tough pole vault field at Northern 4A Regional prelims
In previewing the Northern 4A Regional Track and Field Championships, there might not be a more loaded event when it comes to sheer depth than the boys pole vault.
Seven athletes have cleared 13-9 or better -- including the Carson High tandem of Eric Garcia and Cameron Childers -- and on Saturday a jump of 12-6 was needed to advance past the regional prelims at Damonte Ranch High School in Reno. Garcia and Childers both made their attempts at 12-6 to qualify for the field of nine vaulters in the finals.
