ITHACA, N.Y. – Senior
Katherine Pitman of the Ithaca College women's track & field team set a new NCAA Division III Indoor record in the pole vault on Saturday at the Bomber Invitational & Multi inside the Athletics and Events Center.
Pitman, who entered today's meet with the nation's top mark this season of 4.15 meters, established a new DIII record of 4.22 meters (13 feet, 10 inches) on her first run. She surpassed the previous top performance by .01 meters, which was set by Michelle Favre from Ramapo College in 2013 at the ECAC Championships.
The mark is also a personal best for Pitman in indoor or outdoor pole vault, as she cleared 4.21 meters at last year's NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships.
