An AHS all-timer prepares for the next vault: A Q&A with Ashland graduate Gage Mika
There are moments in sports when an athlete arrives who ranks as so special, the mere observation of that competitor doing their thing speaks more than words can capture. By virtue of his success in the pole vault alone and outstanding academic achievements, Gage Mika will go down as one of Ashland High School’s finest student-athletes. And yet, formidable as those accomplishments may be, his deep personal insights may soar even higher. The Ashland Daily Press grabbed a moment with Mika before he left for UW-La Crosse, where he will pursue a degree in exercise science. Q: Please describe the impact sports have had in your life, and how that has changed as you’ve gotten older. A: Sports started out as a way to connect or stay connected with friends.

Q: As you look back, are there other sports you would have liked to try if time had permitted? A: I’ve always thought that I’d make a good wrestler. Every family
