The Drake Relays is taking a pole vault competition back to a West Des Moines mall this spring. The Vault at the Mall will take place on Monday, April 22nd at Jordan Creek Towncenter.

That’s Drake Relays director Blake Bolden. Jordan Creek has hosted pole vault events in the past with the last one in 2014.

Bolden says they have had discussions about returning to Jordan Creek for several years.

Bolden says COVID prevented them from holding an event in the mall in 2020 and 2021.
