Armand Duplantis Sister Johanna Duplantis Is The Youngest Pole Vaulter In The Family
Armand Duplantis and his pole vaulter sister Johanna Duplantis have three years of age gap. 20-year-old Johanna Duplantis belongs to an athletic family.
The Duplantis sibling’s father was a pole vaulter, and their mother was a heptathlete and volleyball player in their primes.
Moreover, the family has a history with Louisiana State University as Greg (father) attended and played for LSU, and his children also graduated from the same university he did. Johanna also chose to play for LSU like her brothers.
Moreover, their older brothers Andreas and Antoine were also outstanding players during their collegiate careers. Andreas was a pole vaulter, but Antoine went to pursue a baseball career, unlike the other Duplantis.

Greg, who attended and played for Louisiana State University, still holds the Class 4A boys record of 17-0.5. Furthermore, as per The Advocate, the former pole vaulter went on to 19-foot heights as a professional at LSU. Thus, the younger Duplantis always had pressures to exceed their parent’s expectations, and they have never disappointed.

Since athletics runs in their family’s veins, the older Duplantis also pursued athletic careers. Andreas was a state meet champion at Lafayette High and a standout at LSU, having represented Sweden at the 2012 World Junior Championships and 2009 World Youth Championships.
Likewise, Antoine also pole vaulted like his father and brothers but chose to play baseball in high school before joining Louisiana State University. Furthermore, he became LSU baseball’s all-time leader in career hits, games played, base-on-balls, and triples during his college days.
