Visions of 3A State in Vault
Corbin Mayes hopes to follow a breakout indoor season by taking his vaulting to new heights.
Defending state champion pole vault Victor Zimmerman of Sterling and indoor standout Corbin Mayes of Liberty Common gave the track fans a show at French Field. Joe Melia of Cheyenne Central bowed out of the contest a 13-0. At 14-0 Zimmerman put the pressure on Mayes by clearing his first attempt. Mayes vaulted two sloppy attempts, before a six inch clearance on his third. He then turned the tables on Zimmerman clearing his first attempt at 14-6. The defending champ was unable to answer. Mayes raised the bar to 15-1 and missed his next three attempts. Hopefully this competition will drive one of these two gentlemen past the 15-1 3A state record in May.
