Green Hill sweeps Pole Vault competition –

MURFREESBORO – Monsoon-like conditions didn’t deter Green Hill from sweeping top honors in the Pole Vault during the TSSAA Class 3A track & field championships held Thursday, May 26 at a Dean A. Hayes Stadium.

Event favorite Kyler Nichols won the boys competition at 15 feet even.

“This wasn’t the best day,” the junior said, “In perfect conditions, I would have been trying for 16-5 or 17, but we’ve been out here all day in the rain. It is what it is.”

Carolina Bannach, a former gymnast, claimed the girls title at 11 feet even.

“I did gymnastics for maybe six years,” Bannach said. “That helped me overcome any fear of being up there in the air.”

Other Wilson County medalists from Thursday included:

Lebanon senior De’Wayne Brown placed third in the Triple Jump at 45-3.05 while teammate Brandon Martin earned an eighth place medal at 41-6.05.
