Molly Haywood develops pole vault passion from American Ninja Warrior
By Cal Logan | Reporter
Baylor track and field freshman pole vaulter Molly Haywood may be hitting new heights in her event, but her love for the sport spurred from her competitions in American Ninja Warrior Junior as a 10-year-old.
“I did that for years and years, and I learned that a lot of the good ninjas were pole vaulters,” Haywood said. “I was super competitive in Ninja at the time, so I tried pole vaulting, and I absolutely fell in love with the sport.”
