Pasqualetti Named Track and Field News High School MVP

KENT, Ohio — Kent State freshman pole vaulter Leah Pasqualetti has been selected as the 2020 National High School Girls MVP by Track and Field News.

Despite her final outdoor season at Orchard Park High School falling victim to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pasqualetti continued rigorously training to reach new heights. The hard work was rewarded on June 26th, as she cleared 14'-8.25" to set new national high school and American U-20 outdoor pole vault records at the Vaulter Magazine Stars and Stripes Big Red Barn Meet in Sun City, California.
