Isabel Garon, the former Sonoma Valley High athlete who took her pole vaulting skills to the state championship in 2016, is reaching the podium at the NCAA level this year as well.
Last month, Garon took the bronze medal at the UAA Conference Championships on Feb. 23. Her 12-foot, 3-inch vault is a new women’s indoor pole vault record for the University of Chicago, where she holds both the indoor and outdoor pole vaulting records.
