Jana Edwards is a former Track and Field athlete at The Ohio State University. While competing at OSU she was a pentathlete but wanted to learn to pole vault. She coached 8th grade boys track after college and learn to pole vault with them with the hope of bettering the records set by Irene Spieker. Jana Edwards was able to accomplish this by being the first woman to vault bending a fiberglass pole. Because of Jana Edwards efforts girls were no longer told they couldn't pole vault.
