• On Friday, May 1st, your Pleasanton Pole Vault all-stars, Layla Rodriguez and Pierson Pilgrim, traveled to Kingsville for the regional track meet in some very rough weather conditions. Up first was Layla Rodriguez. She was looking to come in at 10'6", but she had to battle near-typhoon conditions, so she chose to come in at 10 feet and cleared it with ease. Her game-clinching jump came at 11’3”, a height no other girl in Pleasanton history has ever come close to clearing. Layla cleared it on her first attempt. It was enough to earn her 2nd place and an all-expenses-paid trip to Austin, Texas, for the state meet, where she will compete against the state’s best pole vaulters. She is the first female in Pleasanton history to qualify for state in pole vault. It was a moment that will forever be remembered in Pleasanton track history. Four years of hard work have paid off, and it couldn’t have happened to a better athlete. Congratulations

  , Layla, and good luck at state.  Shout out Coach Henderson. Next up was Pierson Pilgrim, and unfortunately, the conditions did not get any better. It was very difficult to get anything going, especially for someone who comes in at the height Pierson does. Pierson was only able to get one jump off and was not able to clear the height. Although he did not qualify for state, Pierson had a season that most athletes can only dream of. He is a two-time district champion, two-time area champion, two-time regional qualifier, state qualifier, and the school record holder in pole vault. Most athletes go their entire high school careers without coming close to these accomplishments. Pierson is only a sophomore and now hungrier than ever. You can only feel bad for anyone who has to compete against him next track season. Great job this year, Pierson. Be sure to be there on Thursday, May 14th, to cheer on Layla Rodriguez as she carries the entire town of Pleasanton on her back in Austin, Texas. Don’t forget to congratulate her if you see her today. Pride! Pride!
