NEW ORLEANS, La. – South Alabama pole vaulter Kyle Rademeyer has been named the Sun Belt Indoor Men's Field Athlete of the Week for the second-straight week, the conference announced Wednesday morning.
 
After winning the award last week with a height of 5.48 meters, Rademeyer bested the vault with a new South Alabama record of 5.62 meters (18 feet, 5.25 inches) while competing in the New Mexico Open. Rademeyer tied for the highest vault by a collegiate student-athlete at the event.
 
The feat, which broke Rademeyer's previous school record by .02 meters, is the highest vault in the conference this season by .2 meters. It is tied for the fifth-highest mark in NCAA Division I so far this season.
 
Rademeyer now owns the top-five highest indoor pole vault marks in school history, and seven of the top eight.
