A brief reply.
The records for masters depend more on longevity than ability in my opinion. Hartwig is a perfect example and may he live forever.
the compitition is good for all of us old geezers and while we may not be as good as we once were we can still talk the walk.

Bob Gutowski
Here is a video ( newsreel ) of Bob Gutowski setting a new world record at 15' 8" in 1957. He was about 4 yrs ahead of myself and I saw him vault several times. He gets my vote for the geatest "steel pole" vaulter of all time. Warmerdam was great and way ahead of everyone else, but hi...

There are two limiting factors in the pole vault. .....Ok maby more, but speed is definetely one of them. As far as poor runways go, Ours is definetl...

That is pretty difinative! I'm going to have my vaulters start the season pushing. If it works then we will stick with it. If your setting records, the college coaches will still be lineing up.
