Maria Carrillo’s Lily Mulligan broke the vault record not once but twice yesterday (5/19/21).
With the dual meet at Montgomery, but the Vikings not having a working pole vault facility, the vault was held at Maria Carrillo.
Lily opened up at 11 feet, a height only 12 other Empire girls have ever cleared since girls started vaulting back in 1994.
After clearing her next height of 12 feet she had the bar raised above her own Empire record of 12-4 to 12-6.
The 12-6 vault broke the not so old record, then she raised it again to the magical 13 foot height.
Below is a screen shot of that record jump plus the video it was taken from.
Her vault coach Bruce Hotaling said she was using a 13’ 7” 155 lb pole and was so close to 13’6”.
The next best girl in the North Coast Section is at 11-2 this year.
The NCS MOC meet record is 12-10 by Ariel Cheng, Mission San Jose 2013.
The All-Time NCS best is 13-4 by Kelley Kern, Carondelet 2019.
Lily is now number two on that list.
Oh, did I mention she is only a sophomore!
