The concept of trajectory can be a tricky thing, but it hasn’t seemed to be a problem for Gophers senior pole vaulter Zach Siegmeier.
He ended his junior track and field season with a big jump — literally — and won the Big Ten outdoor championships, his first major competition gold.
That success, however, didn’t cut into his focus for the summer and fall. Instead, Siegmeier continued his upward curve by knocking off personal bests before winning another title at the Big Ten indoor championships this season.
