MENOMONIE — The Chi-Hi track and field team’s pole vaulters put on an impressive showing on Monday at Division 1 regionals, sweeping first-place finishes and advancing three competitors to Thursday’s sectionals.
Ross Kaz and Nadia Detlaff took home the top spot in their respective competitions to lead a solid contingent of sectional-bound Cardinals.
Kaz won the boys pole vault by clearing 12-feet, 3-inches to edge New Richmond’s Joe Charbonneau for the title while Detlaff took first in the girls competition, beating teammate Madalyn Schmidley for the top spot as she cleared 8-9 as the Cardinals advanced three pole vaulters to sectionals by finishing fourth place or better.
