Jacob Eminger
Junior, Milford Track & Field
Jacob is back for his third season as a pole vaulter for the Eagles. In the little bit of the season we have had, Jacob has already crushed his PR by a foot and a half and has had to move up two poles already as well. He is showing great improvement as the season moves forward. Looking forward to seeing what he can do in the second half of the season! Way to go Jacob, keep up the hard work!

Junior, Milford Track & Field
Jesslyn has had a great start to her season for the Lady Eagles. She has competed twice in the pole vault and both times has walked out breaking her own school record. Coming into this year, she was a co-owner of the record at 10' but has now taken it up to 10'4" and continues to improve and get closer to setting it even higher each time she hits the runway! The craziest part is she has been doing this as a two-sport athlete in the spring, as she is also a member of our softball team and one of the best players in the ECC in that sport as well! Looking forward to seeing what Jesslyn can accomplish as we near the championship portion of the season.
