Reigning Olympic champion Katie Moon headlines the U.S. women’s pole vaulters heading to Paris

(NBC Sports)- Katie Moon placed second in the women’s pole vault final to secure her second Olympic berth, where she will defend her Olympic gold medal.

Moon won gold in Tokyo, then won gold at 2022 and 2023 Worlds, the latter of which was shared with Australia’s Nina Kennedy.

Moon’s 2024 season has been dogged by Achilles tendinosis which she called “painful and lingering” that kept her out of much of the winter slate, but Moon has worked her way back to her typical strength in time for Trials.

Bridget Williams cleared a height of 4.73m and booked her first Olympic spot with a win in the women’s pole vault final. Williams is the 2023 Pan American Games champion and will next compete at her first Olympics.

Brynn King finished third to join those two in Paris, which will be her first Olympics.
