OMAHA-North Platte High School junior Allexis Menghini successfully defended her Class A state championship in the pole vault on Friday by winning the event at the Nebraska State Track and Field Meet with a height of 11-feet, 2-inches. On Friday, Menghini won a dual with Lizzy Stanton of Papillion-LaVista South by having fewer misses at 11-2. The height Menghini won her second Class A title was almost a foot shorter than her height at districts last week at 12-1, which would have broke the Class A state meet record of 12-0 1/2 held by Lauren Welch of Papillion-LaVista. A year ago, Menghini won her first Class A pole vault title in similar fashion by outvaulting runner-up Sophie Harano of Lincoln Southeast at 11-4.
