Billy Olson Video?
Hey everybody, just wondering if anybody has any video of Billy Olson, who just happens to be my favorite vaulter.
If not any good pictures or even stories of his glory days would be awesome from those who were around when he was jumping!!
Thanks!

I may be mistaken if he is in them of not, but there are some clips from the 80s of vaulting on Neovault 3... might be a couple years past him, but its a great dvd set either way. There is also a dvd out on eBay that is just of the 88 Olympics, every jump from a variety of angles. Plays the same song over and over, but I guess thats what you get for 7 bucks.

He went to both. Baylor first. My HS coach was his roommate there. BU didn't have much of a vault program so he transferred to ACU after his freshman year.
