Vance Kroetsch soars over the bar at 9'—eventually clearing 9'6"—during the pole vault event during Track & Field's competition at the Thundering Herd Classic Track and Field Meet at NDSU on April 4. The meet was another strong early season performance for the Spuds, who claimed first place for both boys and girls at the event in Fargo. Track & Field will look to continue their hot streak when they attend the Sheyenne Invitational at Sheyenne High School in West Fargo on Friday.
