Carson didn’t start pole vaulting until her freshman year of high school, and improved by more than a foot in each of her first three years of track and field. She finished second in the pole vault at the Class 4A state meet last year, and is the front-runner to win this year’s state title. She is considering a collegiate track and field career at Oklahoma, New Mexico or Eastern Washington.
