Armand "Mondo" Duplantis from Lafayette (La.) pole vaulted a world leading 19 feet 4 1/4 inches Saturday at the Texas Relays.
Duplantis has now added nearly a foot to the all-time high school record and is the world junior (under age 20) record holder. He is the only teen to clear 19 feet and holds the 11 best high school vault performances including exceeding 18-8 1/2 in his last five meets (indoors and outdoors).
And this kid is only a junior in high school! Remember the name, and expect to see him in the Olympics real soon.
