Record breaking pole vaulter Leah Pasqualetti to attend Kent State

Joining the Kent State Track and Field team this year is Leah Pasqualetti, the No. 1 pole vault recruit in the class of 2020.

“I get to continue doing what I love for at least four more years, It still brings a smile to my face when I think about that day,” said Pasqualetti, referring to the day she officially signed to compete for Kent State’s Track & Field team.

Pasqualetti started vaulting in 7th grade and “things took off from there,” she said.

She was a gymnast for most of her life, until her sophomore year of high school when she decided to focus only on track and her events.
