One of the most successful pole vaulters in Concordia's history, Esther (Jandrich) Fleigle earned three all-conference selections and an all-region nod while qualifying for the NCAA Championships two times across her four-year career.
After competing in the multi-events in her first season on campus, Fleigle shifted her focus to the pole vault in her sophomore campaign. She found immediate success in that event, placing second at the NSIC Indoor Championships and third at the NSIC Outdoor Championships to secure two All-NSIC selections.
She capped off her career in 2015 with another All-NSIC nod, placing third at the outdoor championships and qualifying for the national meet after also qualifying in the indoor season. Fleigle still holds the Concordia records in both the indoor and outdoor pole vault, setting both marks in her senior campaign.
After graduating in 2015, Fleigle began her career as a special education paraprofessional for Mounds View Public Schools. She eventually went on to found Fleigle's Athletics, a year-round track & field training and competing club. There, she specializes in the vertical jumps, with some of her athletes going on to participate in state, regional, national and one International competition. She is also a freelance artist where she participates in community art events and hosts small group community art classes.
