Track & Field

The country’s leading pole vaulter will head to the Big 10 and join the Illinois Fighting Illini.

Brenden Vanderpool’s commitment comes on the heels of his comeback performance at the Vulcan vault meet in Pelham, Alabama where he leapt 5.50m.

It was his return to competition after being sidelined with a hand injury.

He placed fifth among 12 competitors just 0.03 meters off his personal best.

Vanderpool brings an elite pedigree to champaign, having already established himself as one of the region’s most accomplished vaulters.

The Bahamian national record holder in both the indoor and outdoor event, he began on the junior circuit where he dominated the CARIFTA Games with three consecutive titles and set a meet record at 5.30m in 2024.

On the senior level, he also medaled for Team Bahamas with a silver at the under-23 NACAC Championships and a bronze at the Pan American under-20 Championships.

He began his collegiate career for the Samford Bulldogs where he became a two-time southern conference champion, claiming gold in both indoor and outdoor competition.

Locally, fans will have an opportunity to watch Vanderpool lower his national record next month at the BAAA’s Senior Nationals, August 1-2.
