Cinnaminson’s Eddie Frey, posted a pole vault PR Saturday, placed 2nd in the CAA Championships and broke the Monmouth freshman record.

Frey began the day with a college PR of 14-7 ¼ from an indoor meet at the Ott Center in January after clearing 15-6 three times as a Cinnaminson senior last spring.

At the Coastal Athletic Conference Championships in Elon, N.C., he cleared 15-7 on his 3rd attempt, moving into the No. 6 spot in Monmouth history and breaking the Monmouth freshman record of 15-5 ½ set by Jacob George of Haddon Township last month at TCNJ.

William & Mary freshman Leighton McGee won the conference title on fewer misses at 15-7. Both missed three attempts at 15-10 ¾.

George placed 5th at 14-7 ½. George was the state Group 1 champ last year and Frey was Group 2 runner-up.

Here’s my best attempt at an all-time South Jersey alumni pole vault top-10. Note that Nick Gilanelli also vaulted for Monmouth and that 15-9 from 20 years ago was then a school record and still No. 4 in school history.

Lemme know who’s missing!
