Mike Cyphers keeps finding new ways to advance in pole vaulting.
After excelling as a walk-on during his freshman year at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, the former Lebanon High standout received a full athletic scholarship to Wake Forest University and went on to set both indoor and outdoor program records with the Demon Deacons.
Now the Grantham native is in his first full season training with an elite group of pole vaulters at Vault House, a nonprofit training and equipment facility in High Point, N.C., about a half-hour’s drive from Wake Forest’s Winston-Salem campus.
