University of South Dakota alum and pole vault standout Chris Nilsen has qualified for the Tokyo Olympic Games. Nilsen won gold at the Olympic Trials event in Eugene, Oregon to punch his ticket to the big show. He cleared 19-4 ¼ to win the competition. “I have been thinking of this day for the last five years, and even more so the last two months. It is such an honor to be able to represent

the University of South Dakota here on the big stage,” stated Nilsen. “Tonight, I get to go to bed as an Olympian.” “Coach [Derek Miles] told me, ‘Don’t think about pole vault, don’t think about winning, don’t think about top three – just go out there and have fun.’ That probably sounds cliché, but that was probably the only time he’s actually said that to me,” explained Nilsen. “After I won, he congratulated me and gave me a hug.”
