One of the nation's best pole vaulters from 1956 to 1958, Ed Hoyle won the Central Collegiate Conference indoor title his junior year.
During his senior year, Hoyle earned six first place finishes, including two on the same day. On February 8, 1958, after winning a dual meet at Eastern Michigan, Hoyle drove 55 miles to East Lansing and broke the Michigan State Relays pole vault record with a mark of 14'6".
Hoyle ascended to the nation's number one ranking during his senior season but was unable to participate in the NCAA national meet due to an ankle injury. The winning height of that meet was 14'4", a full six inches less than Hoyle's season-best vault of 14'10".
A recipient of the 1958 Con Jennings and McCahill Awards, Hoyle held the Marquette indoor pole vault record of 14' 9 1/8" until 2004.
