Kennesaw State’s Director of Track and Field Cale McDaniel announced on Thursday, Aug. 8, that he had made his first signing of the season, transfer pole vaulter Jack Rhea.
Rhea, a native of Calhoun, Georgia, is coming off of his sophomore season at the University of Tennessee where he won an individual event and finished as runner-up on two other occasions.
During the indoor season, Rhea finished second at the Hokie Invitational while setting a personal best indoor jump of 5.10 meters at the Carolina Challenge. At the SEC Indoor Championships, Rhea finished ninth out of a field of 20.
His personal best outdoor jump of 5.27 meters was enough to win the Virginia Challenge in April while he finished second at a meet hosted by Florida a week later.
