Lilly Charest Of Sheridan HS Chasing State Pole Vault Record: If it were not for a rule technicality, one Sheridan High School track and field athlete would own a new state record.

The girls state record in the pole vault is 12 feet 6 and ½ inches set in 2021.

Senior Lilly Charest has already cleared 12 feet 8 inches at least once this season, but the Wyoming Coaches have a rule in track and field, that it’s not a state record, until you do it at the state meet.

This past weekend she won the Wyoming Track Classic which is considered a best of the best meet and a preview of the state competition.

Charest says the goal to get that state record is still in sight and participating in a few other track events has helped her get better.

Sheridan is scheduled to compete this Friday at a meet in Gillete.

The 4A Girls Pole Vault competition at the state meet will be one of the first events on Friday, May 23rd.
