LINCOLN, Neb. — University of Nebraska sophomore Natalie Willer is still breaking records in the pole vault.

She took out three all-time marks in a single bound last Saturday at the Drake Relays.

Willer, the daughter of Dickinson natives Jeff and Michele (Gab) Willer, cleared 14 feet, 3½ inches to break the Nebraska school record, the American junior record and the Drake Relays record.

The American junior record is the top mark for any American woman under 20 years old.

Willer’s leap was the sixth-best jump of any woman in the world this year according to the International Association of Athletics Federations.
