Hana Moll

Hana Moll joins Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber in Budapest fresh off her runner-up finish at the World Ultimate Championships. She talks about how she managed to keep her momentum going through her long season, including competing five times in less than a month, and why she chose to skip USAs for a month-long training block instead.

Plus, she talks about balancing school with life on the professional circuit, why having friends and a strong community makes constant travel easier, her finance major, staying connected with her sister while competing around the world, and why she's looking forward to taking a break before turning her attention to 2027.

Today on the "Road To Hayward" is one of the greatest high school pole vaulters of all-time, Hana Moll.

Hana is debatably the greatest high-school pole vaulter of all-time. She won the 2022 IAAF World Junior Championships last year in incredible fashion. Along with her twin sister Amanda, they have rewritten the history books. Amanda holds the National Record indoors, and Hana holds the National Record outdoors. Hana is committed to compete for the University of Washington next year.

In this conversation, Hana goes through her start in the sport, her dominant performances and records, her goals for Nike Outdoor Nationals, and so much more! Hana is full of spirit and inspiration, and I know you'll enjoy this unique conversation with the top pole vaulter in the country.
