Carbonvaulter5. Let me get this straight. You are jumping on a 13-6 pole and rolling over 16'? THAT IS INCREDIBLE. What is the weight of the pole? How much do you weigh? Very impressive. What did you jump in the season? Where in Texas do you go to school?

As my vaulters transition from a 13 to a 14, I keep the grip the same and sometimes they plant sometimes they run through. If they run through 3 times in a row, I move them back down and try to get their confidence back. If they blow through with proper mechanics, then we try to transition again. Ju...

We have attended this competition for the past two years. Great location with the river running right next to it. Lots of giant shade trees, great vaulters and people spectating. Well worth the trip. Don't miss this one!
