Stevenson pole vaults six metres!

Sunday 9 May 2004
Modesto, California (USA) - American vaulter Toby Stevenson became the ninth man in athletics’ history to reach the six-metre level outdoors with a magnificent 6.00m jump which easily stood alone as the highlight of Saturday’s 63rd Coca-Cola Modesto Relays (8 May).

Oh its true. I hope you Neovault Boys bust your a** to get this one up. I'd love to see all his PR jumps too. It would be much appreciated.

it was awesome to watch him vault yesterday. The whole crowd was getting in to it, I've never seen that many people watching the pole vault all at once. It was awesome to see him do as well as he did :D
