From Drake: Willer had quite a tailwind on her vault(s). Aiding winds were gusting up to 5+ mps during the event. And all running events finished into strong homestretch winds; some impressive running, indeed.Comment

From SI:
The wind, which gusted up to 30 mph, helped Nebraska sophomore Natalie Willer break the meet record in the university-college pole vault. Willer set an outdoor collegiate best for this year with a winning jump of 14 feet, 3 1/2 inches, shattering the mark of 13-5 3/4 set by Missouri's Jennifer Bennett in 2003.
Willer beat out favorite Kylie Hutson of Indiana State, the NCAA indoor champion.
"We had a great wind today. We always had a tailwind while we were jumping," Willer said.Comment
