For part of the day, Mile City at the Dempsey Indoor at the University of Washington became Vault City, as hana_moll_ and jimjrho cleared 16 feet (4.88m) and 19-0.25 (5.80m) in the same meeting.

For Moll, who made her 2026 season debut on her birthday (31 January), the jump was a personal best, a 2026 world leading mark, and became the fifth American woman* in history to clear 16 feet or better (a mark in 2016 was invalidated).

Fun fact: Every American woman who’s cleared 16 feet before Hana and twin sister amanda_moll_ who did it last year, has won either an Olympic or world championship medal.

Rhoads cleared 19 feet for the second straight meet, and came close to threatening his Dempsey facility record of 19-1 (5.82m) set two weeks ago.
