Striding out in the last step, being under all the time and going to your back right off the ground often is because of sprint mechanics on the runway before the plant. If a vaulter is pushing too long on each stride the hips are pulled back and the back foot kicks up too high behind the hips. This ...

What Bends the Pole?
Speed is the #1 factor in bending the pole. Swing and lifting the hips keep it bent. With that in mind pole vaulters should spend most of their time : 1. Developing speed. 2. Learning to swing. 3. Developing rockback strength. To learn about sprint mechanics see: http://www.advantageathletics.com/s...

Misses no longer count against you if you tie at a height
According to the National Federation of High Schools there is a revision to the tie rule in field events. Rule: 2-2-2 Delete present wording.

Sequence photos of his vault
http://www.advantageathletics.com/lanaro.html My critique of his vault: *On that day his step was under, but if you look at his left ankle he had a big brace on it. He had surgery after this photo was taken. That may be why he wasn't getting his last step down quickly. *He has a great take off. He ...

See: http://www.advantageathletics.com/polevault/row.html *Your top hand is above or in front of your shoulders before your shins reach your top hand. *Your hips should be above the line of your shoulders at that point too. *You nee...
