This school is something special. How do they produce such great vaulters? Lawrence Johnson, Brian Hunter, Rich Fulford, countless division 1 college vaulters, and this past year Jim Morrison jumped 17-6.5! WOW!

Great History, and great vaulting school.

I wonder what will happen now that Fulford is not the coach...I believe he has moved into administration.

Still, they were amazing for years.

I think you mean Mike Morrison. As far as I know Jim Morrison is from The Doors and still dead.

It is probably mostly from a single great coach, and the expectation in the school to jump high. When you are a sophmore jumping 14 or 15 feet, you would be considered good in most other high schools. But when you are overshadowed by a handfull of kids just as good or better than you, you are given more confidence and forced to push yourself just to keep up.
