Stephen F. Austin pole vaulters Adam Keul (JR-Tyler) and Misty Ballard (JR-Carlsbad, New Mexico) are both bound for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Both provisionally qualified for the event with impressive performances during the indoor track season. Keul also won the LSU Last Chance Meet last weekend in Baton Rouge with a vault of 5.51m (18'1"), a mark that would have automaticlly qualified him for the Championship.
Ballard, the SFA and SLC women's record holder in the pole vault also qualified with a vault of 4.10m (13'5.25"). She also competed last week at the US Track and Field Championships in a field that included the current world record holder and Olympic gold medalist, Stacy Dragila.
Keul is scheduled to compete Friday at 5:30, with Ballard to compete Saturday at 5:30.
