Athlete and Official of the Month




January Athlete of the Month

 

Big-time performances shine brightest on the biggest stages — and Eric Rose delivered exactly that at the iconic Millrose Games.

The Leander, TX junior cleared an impressive 17 feet, 2.75 inches (5.25m) to win the boys pole vault, taking down the nation’s top three ranked vaulters in the process: Jaxon Jerabek (IMG Academy, FL), Luke Beattie (Warwick, NY), and Victor Olesen (Richmond, VA) — who entered the meet ranked US#1, #2, and #3.

With this breakthrough victory, Rose now moves to US#3 nationally and firmly establishes himself as a Championship Contender for later on this season.

From Austin to the national spotlight, Eric Rose is soaring higher than ever. 🚀
Congratulations on an outstanding performance!
