Pole Vault
Andrew Irwin  of Arkansas has dominated the indoor pole vault in his first two seasons,  winning the title both times, but an outdoor title has eluded him to this point  thanks to Jack Whitt of Oral Roberts, who is back to defend his title. Sam  Kendricks of Ole Miss is the man to beat, however, after posting the only  19-foot vault by a collegian in 2013 with a clearance of 19-¾ (5.81m). Akron  freshman Shawn Barber also stands between Irwin and a championship, seeded No.  2 at 18-8¾ (5.71m).

Pole Vault
Three women  have cleared heights higher than 14-7 this season, the most recent of whom was  indoor champion Natalia Bartnovskaya of Kansas, who made 14-7¼ (4.45m) at the  final meet before NCAA Prelims, while you have to go back to March for when  Bethany Buell of South Dakota made 14-7½ (4.46m) and Alexis Paine of Alabama  cleared 14-7¼ (4.45m). Buell is among three of the top four who will be  returning from last year; Georgia’s Morgann Leleux finished runner-up, Buell  was third and Washington’s Logan Miller was fourth. Also returning as point  scorers from a year ago are seventh-placer Emily Grove of South Dakota and  eighth-place finisher Paine.
