Congratulations to Kristen Petry as she vaulted to a new personal best and school record at the Astronaut Invitational on Friday night. Kristen, a senior at Cocoa Beach High School, set the school record with a PR vault of 11′. The previous record was held by Amy Bauer from last year. The height was good enough to win the meet in less than favorable conditions. Kristen returns as the 8th place finisher from last years FHSAA 2A State Track and Field Championships. Although early in the season, this mark ranks her number 2 in the state and number 1 in 2A. It is for this accomplishment that she has earned the first Pole Vault City athlete of the week. Way to go Kristen.
