Mondo Duplantis has done it once again. The World U 20 record holder cleared. 5.93 meters at the Louisianna state high school meet and broke his own U20 record, set in March 2018, at the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas, where he cleared 5.92 meters.
In this competition, Mondo cleared all three heights on first attempts. Duplantis started at 5.45 meters, then, 5.84 meters, and finally, 5.93 meters. Mondo Duplantis is one of the finest young vaulters in our sport. His leg speed over 100 meters (10.64, I believe), shows that Mondo is the real thing. Always a lot of fun to watch, Mondo will be one of the great stars of our sport in future years.
What do I like about Mondo the most? His parents. Both coaches and parents, they have allowed Mondo Duplantis to be a teenager, which is really key in his long term development.
