Elyria Catholic freshman Lucas Ball made his debut at the 2011 State Track and Field Championships in the Division II pole vault.

Ball tied his personal-best height of 13-feet, 6-inches but couldn't clear 14 feet and finished 10th in the event.

Ball seemed to be catching his stride as he cleared 13-06 on his first attempt, but failed on his first two attempts at 14, then DQ'ed on his final attempt.

Bay junior Marek Mutch finished 11th, as he also cleared 13-06.

Bellevue sophomore Matt Rowland won the event, clearing a height of 14-09.
