Cole Wuest’s progress as a pole vaulter the past four track and field seasons greatly resembles what takes place during a meet: The more time that passes, the higher the bar goes. As a freshman novice, Wuest topped out at a height of 8 feet, 6 inches. He’s since progressed to personal bests of 11-6 as a sophomore and last season’s 13-foot effort at the IHSAA Boys Track and Field State Finals at Indiana University.
