Episode description
Sarah Schmitt — the Lady Vols' pole vault record-holder — joins us in this episode of the Everything Orange Podcast.
The junior standout reflects on her journey from gymnastics to pole vault, her breakout 2023 season, and what it meant to break both the indoor (4.46m) and outdoor (4.38m) school records in the same year.
With another SEC medal under her belt and a top-6 finish at NCAA Indoors, Sarah shares how she balances mental and physical toughness, the unique mindset it takes to clear big bars under pressure, and what it’s like to compete on a national stage.
