Wolfle is the fourth Aggie to finish fifth in a NCAA Championship pole vault and becomes the first A&M vaulter to score at the NCAA Outdoor meet since 2001.“It was a little frustrating, since I’ve had some pretty good practices lately,” noted Wolfle. “To finish fifth in this field of vaulters is unreal and was a lot of fun. It’s definitely a different atmosphere and it’s crazy out here. We had a perfect tailwind today and the weather was great.“That was my goal, to get out here and score some points. I want to be part of something big with Texas A&M and this track and field team. I wanted to score points and help out.” more
