FLAGSTAFF – In the final regular season indoor meet of his Sun Devil career, Arizona State senior Matthew Eckles soared to a new personal best in the pole vault Friday at the NAU Tune-Up in Flagstaff.
Eckles finished fourth in the men's pole vault inside the Walkup Skydome Friday, but he was the top-collegiate finisher with his historic clearance of 5.35m/17-6.50 feet. With the mark, he held onto second in the MPSF heading into the conference championships, and improved on the fourth-best mark in school history.
The former Pac-12 champion from 2017 is now 20th on the NCAA's descending order list.
