Texas Senior Pole Vaulters Put On A Show At TTFCA Meet Of Champions

The 2017 class of pole vaulters might be one of the best vaulting classes in a long time. I admit, I haven't followed vaulting that much in my lifetime, but this season I really took a liking to it. In a way, the pole vault is the Bruno Mars of track and field. In my opinion, like Bruno Mars, pole vaulters are some of the most athletic, most meticulous, most entertaining, and the most passionate about their craft. 

On the boys side, we will soon bid farewell to some of the nations top pole vaulters. This weekend, some of the top boys senior vaulters competed at the TTFCA Meet of Champions. That list included the 2017 UIL 6A runner-up, Keller Central's Logan Freeman who went 15-0 this weekend and Eric Etie of Keller who was eighth in 6A at state , he went 15-6 this weekend. Although only a junior, Branson Ellis of Tyler Lee is one of the best in that state. One week after winning the 6A title, Ellis joined the group of talented seniors and entertained the crowd by going 16-0.
