Twin sisters Amanda Moll and Hana Moll, juniors at Capital High in Washington and members of Northwest Pole Vault Club, join DyeStat editor Erik Boal to discuss competing Jan. 15 at the UCS Spirit National Pole Vault Summit in Reno, Nev. The 16-year-old standouts enter the event as the most accomplished pole vaulting sisters in U.S. prep history, having both cleared 14-7.25 (4.45m), surpassing the success of Lexi Jacobus and Tori Hoggard (formerly the Weeks twins) during their careers at Cabot High in Arkansas. Hana Moll, the national champion July 1 at the NSAF Outdoor Nationals, presented by Nike, revisits elevating to the No. 2 all-time high school and American Under-20 indoor competitor with her 14-7.25 clearance Jan. 1 in the elite girls competition at the EXPO Explosion in Belton, Texas, with Amanda Moll clearing 13-7.25 (4.15m) to place second. Amanda Moll achieved her 14-7.25 effort outdoors June 6 at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center in California. Both sisters are equal to the No. 5 overall performer in U.S. prep history. They reflect on not having their own poles at the event, in addition to Northwest Pole Vault Club coach Tim Reilly not being able to travel to Texas because of health protocols. The sisters express gratitude toward Erica Fraley for coaching them during competition and to Glenn Colivas for supplying Altius poles for them to vault with at the event. Amanda Moll also reflects on how she cleared 14-7.25 using an Altius pole she borrowed from Canadian Olympian Anicka Newell. They both analyze how beneficial the fast runways were in Texas, as well as at the Big Red Barn facility in Menifee, Calif., for the Vaulter Club Vaulter Magazine National Championships, where they produced 14-foot clearances, along with Duke-bound teammate Allison Neiders of Holy Names Academy. The sisters recap the technical developments made during the fall, in addition to their improvements in sprinting that have contributed to a faster runway approach this year. They look forward to upcoming opportunities at challenging the national indoor record of 14-9 (4.50m) achieved in 2019 by West Seattle High graduate and former Northwest Pole Vault Club teammate Chloe Cunliffe. The sisters provide an update on the recovery of Neiders from a recent wrist injury and how meaningful it will be for several vaulters from Northwest Pole Vault Club to be competing in Reno and how excited they are to return to the UCS Spirit National Pole Vault Summit for the first time since 2020, in addition to competing Jan. 29 at the 114th Millrose Games at The Armory in New York.
