Amanda Moll (born January 31, 2005) is an American pole vaulter. She holds the indoor world under-18 best, the NCAA record, the American youth record and high school all-time record in the pole vault.[1]

## Career

[edit]

She is a member of the Northwest Pole Vault Club.[2] She set an indoor world under-18 best with a 4.50 metres clearance on February 27, 2022, at the USA Championships in Spokane, Washington.[3] She finished fifth at the 2022 IAAF World Junior Championships in Cali, Colombia in August 2022.[4]

In January 2023, she set an American Under-20 record and high school all-time record clearance of 4.61m competing at the 2023 Pole Vault Summit in Reno, Nevada, becoming the first American girl to go over 15 feet.[5][6] Later in the year, she had to recover after slipping off of her pole at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in March 2023, meaning she missed the high school national championships in June 2023.[7]

She qualified for the final at the US Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon in June 2024, before placing fifth overall with a personal best clearance of 4.63 metres.[8][9][10] She set a new personal best of 4.65 metres in Reno at the Pole Vault Summit in January 2025.[11][12] She set a new Collegiate record of 4.91 metres in Indianapolis on 1 March 2025.[13] She won the NCAA Championship indoor title on 14 March 2025 in Virginia Beach.[14]

She cleared 4.73 metres to place third at the 2025 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene on count-back after clearing the same height as sister Hana Moll in fourth and Katie Moon in second. With Moon receiving a wildcard as reigning world champion for the upcoming Tokyo World Championships she was guaranteed to make her senior debut for the United States in Japan, alongside her twin sister, fitness permitting.[15][16]

## Personal life

[edit]

From Olympia, Washington, she attended Capital High School in Olympia and the University of Washington. She participated in gymnastics, rock climbing, and mountain biking before focusing on athletics.[17] Her mother, Paula, is a dietician, and her father, Eric, the CEO of a healthcare company. Her twin sister Hana is also a pole vaulter.[18]
