BASKING RIDGE, N.J. – Leah Pasqualetti earned an expected victory at Saturday’s inaugural Vault Factory’s Fourth of July Bash but the win proved to be bittersweet.
The Kent State-bound vaulter was coming off last week’s performance at The Vaulter Magazine Stars and Stripes Big Red Barn Meet in Menifee, California where she set a national record of 14-8.25. Pasqualetti, 18, was targeting 15 feet this time around and though she won handily, she fell well short of her goal, topping out at 13-9.
