Re: How does your state do it????
My opinion is after the state qualifier they determine what the 8th or even 6th best mark was from all the state qualifying meets and any one that achieved that at the state qualifier meets(ditrict/sectional) but did not place in the top 2, 3, or 4 still will advance. I kind of feel like if you prov...

Re: The Real Questions of the 6.40 Model
USA has dozens of almost isolated islands, dozens of vaulters working alone or in very small groups that struggle with basic things: home, food, bills. There is no critical mass - concentration of all resources at one place and system that will bring breakthrough in training, methodic, nutrition, r...

Re: Weighing vaulters....
That is true ..I bought the 14'3 190,195,200 and 14'9 185. The only pole one of the HS kids has not used at some point is the 200 though. I actually have a girl on the the 12'4" 160 thru 175. she weighs 140. She just doesn't vault as well on the 13'3" yet... holding the same grip.

Re: takeoff angle and beyond
PV Student, The plant action and relatively narrow grip, and the free pole drop used by Bubka allowed him to explode off the ground without much of a "settle step". Cheers, Tom It's worth noting that the free pole drop allows a narrower grip b/c the vaulter does not need the wider grip fo...

Re: Automatic Standards - SHOULD BE BANNED
Nahh.... just make the pegs even shorter, give them less time between attempts, and less attemtps to speed things up to make up for the difference.

Re: 2010 NFHS Rules You Should Know for Pole Vault
It seems like I see more kids landing short also since the rule. While I agree with the intention of the rule. In practice in the real world I not sure of it's effectiveness. It seems that the majority of HS coaches don't know what the proper adjustment should be (lowering grip) or shorter pole and ...
