Her jump at the U.S. Trials topped King’s personal record by two inches and knocked out former silver medalist Sandi Morris, who won her silver medal at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.

King is coached by Jenn Suhr, who earned two Olympic medals in women’s pole vault. She took silver at the 2008 Olympics in Bejing and gold at the 2012 Olympic games.
