It's not every week that the phrase "leap of the week" will be as literal as it is this week, but there's no denying the sharp curve of improvement Hayley Rayburn has taken over the past year, or even the past month.

This time a year ago Rayburn was one of many 9-1 Colorado pole vaulters. But she made fast gains in her junior season, going 10-11 at the state championships to finish third in 3A, and eighth in Colorado. Three months later she went 12-1 at the ATB Churchyard Pole Vault Meet, and she wasn't done there.
