SANDER MOLDAU NAMED PAC-12 FIELD ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Washington State pole vaulter Sander Moldau was named by the Pac-12 Conference as its field event athlete of the week after setting a lifetime best at last week’s Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, California.
One day after clearing a lifetime-best pole vault height of 17-feet 1 inch (5.21m) at the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Meet at Long Beach, Moldau won the men's pole vault at the Bryan Clay Invitational with a PR height of 17-8 1/4 (5.39m) on April 20th. That mark is the fourth-best in WSU all-time and the first time since 2005 that a Cougar vaulter has cleared a height that ranked in the top five in school records.
Moldau's pole vault mark currently leads the Pac-12, is ranked eighth-best in the NCAA West Region and 18th-best nationally.
Sander, along with twin brother Martin, joined the Cougar track team as decathletes in January. The twins are natives of Rakvere, Estonia.
The Pac-12 release is available here.
