Hall of Honor
Flach is one of the pioneers of what has become one of the Sam Houston men's track and field's premier events — the pole vault.
Flach broke onto the scene by winning the pole vault at the 2003 Southland Conference Indoor Track and Field championships with a jump of 16 feet, 8 ¾ inches. He would repeat as champion in 2004 with a mark of 16 feet, 10 ¾ inches.
Not to be outdone, Flach was just as impressive in outdoor competition. He was named the 2005 Outstanding Field Events Performer to lead Sam Houston to the Southland Conference Outdoor championship in 2005 by winning the pole vault with a height of 18 feet, ½ inches.
