Hightower to pole vault at Georgia Tech

Cartersville High School track and field athlete, Anna Hightower, has committed to compete as a pole vaulter for Georgia Tech. Hightower drew the attention of top programs when she set the state meet record in May during the GHSA Class AAAA championship meet. She set that record at 11 feet, 7 inches on May 7. Her personal best jump for the year was set at the region championship meet, when she cleared 12 feet, 4 inches. For the full story, please see David Royal's story in The Daily Tribune News.
