An NCAA All-American and NCAA national runner-up in the pole vault in 2005, Shayla Balentine left San Diego State and the Mountain West as the record holder in both the indoor and outdoor pole vault. Balentine was a four-time MW champion, twice each in indoor and outdoor, and her marks are still good enough for second (outdoor) and tied for third (indoor) on the program's all-time list. She also earned co-Outstanding Performance Award of the 2005 indoor MW championship meet and was a three-time MW Athlete of the Week.
