Mitch Greeley, Men’s Track & Field, Senior, Rock Hill, SC

Greeley finished fourth in the championships pole vault at the Tyson Invitational last weekend, clearing 18’0″ for the second straight week. Greeley’s mark of 18’0.5″ placed him fourth overall and third among collegians at the prestigious meet.

One week earlier at the Virginia Tech Elite Meet, Greeley recorded an NCAA automatic qualifying mark of 18’1″ to win the pole vault and move to #1 in the national rankings for the event. The mark was a Clemson record and just a quarter of an inch shy of the all-time ACC indoor record for the event.
