Since 2009, Naito has coached for the club, Ultimate AC, under the supervision of Tetsuo Hirota, the former Japanese national coach and Coach Brian Yokoyama, the United States men's and women's pole vault national chairperson.

In the same championship, Jacob Ruiz scored five points for the men's side which contributed to their first team title in history - the team won by 5 points. In 2018, Shelby Noble set the current indoor school record with a mark of 12-5.5 (3.80m).
