Keydet Invitational Meet Summary - By Brandon Miles. Mills Godwin senior Anne Marie Gordon likes drama apparently. Not only is she in theatre at school, but seems to like to wait till the final attempt when clearing personal best heights in the pole vault. At last March's National Scholastic Indoor Championships, Gordon cleared 11'7.25" on her third attempt at the height. On Saturday at the Keydet Invitational, Gordon cleared a best height of 11'9" in similar dramatic fashion on her final attempt at the height.
