Amanda Moll wins multiple weekly awards after record-setting weekend
Amanda Moll wins multiple weekly awards after record-setting weekend Amanda Moll may have a strong argument for the most dominant season by a Husky athlete by the end of the school year. Days after setting her fifth NCAA record of the season, the sophomore pole vaulter was named the USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week for the third time this year. All three awards have come after Moll set a collegiate record. Moll was also named Big Ten Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week after being named the conference's Indoor Field Athlete of the Year in March. Moll's 15-7 1/4 clearance at Saturday's Desert Heat Classic in Tucson, Arizona, bested the previous outdoor record held by Paris Olympian Brynn King, who cleared a bar one centimeter lower at the Texas Relays earlier this season. Moll already held the indoor and overall record at 16-1 1/4, set on February 28. That mark remains the best in the world this year - the 15-7 1/4 clearance from Saturday would be sixth in the world as well. Moll and her twin sister Hana went 1-2 in Tucson, elevating the two of them to 1-2 in the NCAA Division I standings as well. (King competes for D-II Roberts Wesleyan.) Hana currently has the fourth-best vault in the world this year, also from February 28, and the two of them look to be in a league of their own as the NCAA Championships near. Only two other Division I athletes have cleared the 15-foot mark this season: Baylor's Molly Haywood and Oklahoma's Olivia Lueking.
