Sondre Guttormsen Wins the NCAA Indoor Championship in the Pole Vault

March 11, 2022 | Men's Track and Field

BIRMINGHAM, Al. – With an NCAA title in the pole vault, Princeton's Sondre Guttormsen becomes the first individual NCAA indoor champion for the Tigers since 2002. His performance, along with other notable finishes, lands Princeton first in the team score with 20 points.

Also competing in the pole vault was Simen Guttormsen, finishing in fourth place with a personal best distance of 5.60 meters.

In the distance medley relay, the team of Harrison Witt, Michael Phillippy, Sam Rodman and Sam Ellis placed fourth, clocking in at 9:26.01. That mark ranks second all-time in school history.

In the heptathlon, Andrei Iosivas sits in third place with 3551 points. He trails Leo Neugebauer by 11 points, and Kyle Garland by 41 points.

Iosivas started the day by setting a new NCAA championship meet record, going 6.71 in the 60-meter dash. That mark also ties the NCAA heptathlon record set by Ashton Eaton, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon.

In the long jump, Iosivas finished sixth with a distance of 7.24 meters. Iosivas then put together back to back third place finishes in the shot put (15.25 m) and the high jump (2.09 m), the latter being a new personal best.

The heptathlon continues tomorrow with the 60-meter hurdles, pole vault, and 1000 meters.
