February 8 was a great day for the men’s pole vault worldwide. American pole vaulter Sam Kendricks broke the American indoor record.
A native of Mississippi, Kendricks cleared all of the previous five heights on his first try (5.86 meters, 5.80 meters, 5.74 meters, 5.64 meters, and 5.54 meters). Jeff Hartwig was the first to congratulate Kendricks on this achievement.
