WICHITA — Bailey Ambrosier, a junior at Norton High School, repeated as Class 3A girls pole vault champion Saturday at the Kansas state track meet.
Ambrosier cleared a personal-best 10 feet, 8 inches. Her height was 8 inches higher than her nearest competitor. She won the 2012 state pole vault by clearing 9’6”.
“I felt not nervous, I don’t think, because I have been here before,” Ambrosier told the Hays Daily News.
She won even after competing with her Norton teammates in the girls 4×800-meter relay just moments before the pole vault competition began.
The 4×800 squad, which also featured Bailey’s sister, Casey, took seventh in the state.
Ambrosier is the daughter of Wade and Diana (Williamson) Ambrosier of Norton. Her mother is a 1988 Iola High School graduate.
Her grandparents are Sid and Alice Williamson, Gas.
