Hana Moll Wins National Field Athlete Of The Year

SEATTLE – Sophomore pole vault superstar Hana Moll has been named the Women’s Outdoor National Field Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, the first Husky to ever win that honor. She is also the first women’s pole vaulter to win the national award since 2011.
 
Hana’s win makes for an indoor-outdoor sweep for the Moll family, as her twin sister Amanda won the 2025 Women’s Indoor National Field Athlete of the Year award.
 
On June 12 at Oregon’s Hayward Field, Moll won the NCAA Outdoor title in the pole vault, breaking the NCAA Outdoor Record in the process. She held off her top-ranked sister as well as 2024 NCAA Outdoor Champion Chloe Timberg in a hard-fought battle. Hana clinched the win when she was the only woman to clear 15-0 3/4, and she also cleared 15-2 3/4 on a first attempt before moving the bar up to 15-8 1/2, just a quarter-inch above Amanda’s old NCAA Outdoor Record. On her third attempt, Hana got up and over, celebrating a new collegiate record which is also the third-highest outdoor clearance in the world this year.
 
Moll, the native of Olympia, Wash., was previously named Big Ten Conference Women’s Field Athlete of the Year and USTFCCCA West Region Women’s Field Athlete of the Year.
