Highest pole vaulting moms of all time

Unread postby rainbowgirl28 » Sun May 10, 2009 6:41 pm

What is the world record for highest pole vaulting mom? Best height anyone has done after having at least one child...

When I was in Reno, someone told me there was an elite Russian or Polish girl, but now I forget who!

In the US, I know Jill Starkey competed for awhile after becoming a mom. We've also had some college girls...


4.05 Julene (Bailey Kaufusi) 4/29/05

That's what I have so far :)

POST "DELETED". I'll add it to the right thread later. ;)

Maybe you can fully delete my post and your complaint about my post? :dazed:

What is the WR for the highest mother/daughter combined height IN THE SAME YEAR?

This is harder than just being a vaulting mom, because you have to wait another 15-25 years before your daughter is old enough to PR.

I'm thinking that Kate Soma and her mother Donna Schultz would be close to the top ... at maybe about 7.49 (24-7)?

But at 3.07, Donna is not anywhere close to the WR for a vaulting mom.

We have other threads about mother-daughter combos, let's keep this one on pole vaulting moms only!

Did she ever vault since giving birth? We all remember the grand retirement ceremony at Reno in 2004 after she found at she was pregnant.

I think Balakhanova came back and jumped 4.45 after having a baby in 05'? Someone should check on this for me. I'm too lazy.

Yeah I think that is the one I had heard. Probably the pole vaulting mom world record :)

Jill Starkey jumped 13-4 in 2003 after giving birth in 2002.

Tatiana Polnova has 10 or 11 years old daughter, so I think her PB is a mother's world record - 4.78 !!!
