Mondo Duplantis ‘full to the brim' after breaking pole vault world record for 12th time
Mondo Duplantis broke the pole vault world record for the 12th time in his career in front of a delighted home crowd in Stockholm, Sweden. Duplantis cleared 6.28 meters on his first attempt to surpass his previous record by a centimeter, immediately running over to the stands to celebrate. This was the first time that the 25-year-old had broken a world record in Sweden, saying afterwards that he felt 'full to the brim' with the 'special' achievement. 'I've got a lot of family here,' said Duplantis, who was raised in the United States but represents Sweden, his mother's native country. 'The first time I jumped in this stadium was when I was 11,' he added. 'It was rainy, cold, I jumped right under four meters. I still jumped quite high, actually, for how young I was.' Duplantis first broke the pole vault world record in 2020 and over the years has steadily raised his own history-making standards a centimeter at a time. At Sunday's Diamond League meet, he had victory wrapped up with a first-time clearance of six meters, then put the bar straight up to 6.28m – well clear of his own meet record of 6.16m. Despite grazing the bar on the way up, Duplantis safely cleared the record height and raced over to the stands to celebrate with his fiancée. The two-time Olympic gold medalist is now unbeaten since July 2023, winning the Stockholm meet by 38 centimeters more than Australia's Kurtis Marschall in second. 'It gets a little bit tougher as it gets higher,' said Duplantis about the prospect of clearing 6.30m in the future. 'I'm just a perfect day away from it, technically and physically and everything like that.'

Big 12 pitcher reportedly cancelled his visit to Texas A&M
Big 12 pitcher reportedly cancelled his visit to Texas A&M Texas A&M's pitching future is uncertain, as starters Ryan Prager and Justin Lamkin have yet to announce their plans for the upcoming season. Both could easily declare for the 2025 MLB Draft, particularly after Lamkin's impressive 2024 season. Prager, who was selected in the third round of the 2024 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Angels, did not have his best season and should consider returning for a final season. However, head coach Michael Earely, who will return for his second season at the helm, has landed two arms from the transfer portal, including Rutgers closer Preston Prince, who threw as high as 98 MPH last season. Still, this is just a start, and according to College Baseball Central reporter Andrew Riedell, one of Texas A&M's scheduled visitors has canceled his plans. Riedell reported that Baylor LHP Carson Bailey was supposed to visit the Aggies this coming Tuesday, but will now consider other options, as he is being heavily pursued by several SEC programs who are all in need of pitching depth in the transfer portal age. While this isn't the best news for Earley and pitching coach Jason Kelly, the competition for pitchers in the portal is fierce, and Bailey could end up rescheduling a visit with the program shortly while he looks at other options. During his 2025 freshman season, Bailey finished with a 4.89 ERA and 56 strikeouts.
