Lacy Janson is not only the greatest pole vaulter in Florida State women’s track & field history, she is the greatest in Atlantic Coast Conference history as well.
A two-time national champion, Janson won the NCAA Indoor Championship title in the pole vault as a sophomore in 2003 and was NCAA Outdoor champion as a senior in 2006. She was a six-time All-American – three each, indoors and outdoors - over her career.
A dominant force in the ACC, she won conference pole vault titles, both indoors and outdoors, in each of her four years during her FSU career (2002-2006). In the process, she set ACC and conference championship meet records which stood for a decade or more.
In addition to setting Florida State’s indoor and outdoor pole vault school records, Janson ranked among the top three in NCAA Division I history at the conclusion of her career.
An exemplary student, she earned first-team Academic All-American honors in 2006.
Post-collegiately, Janson represented the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
