Mondo Duplantis Breaks World Pole Vault Record… Again

In less than a week after breaking the world record for pole vaulting, Mondo Duplantis beat his own record over the weekend at a meet in Glasgow, Scotland.

The Lafayette-native and former LSU student-athlete reached 6.18 meters in his record-breaking performance,  that’s equivalent to 20 feet 3 1/4 inches.

Expect to see Mondo competing during the Tokyo Olympic Games in the Summer of 2020.  Duplantis will represent the country of Sweden, as his mother holds dual citizenship.
