"Under the proposed changes, schools will now be required to have athletes that wish to compete in the pole vault turn in a psychological evaluation along with their physical forms and undergo a more strenuos physical examination, which includes strength and endurance testing. "The reasoning behind this," said Cochese, "is that we want to discourage kids with less than average physical and mental capactiy from participating in the event, thereby reducing the risk and liability for the schools."

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

I certaintly hope that it is just some april fools joke. If its not it is completly outradgious, psychological evaluation, padded suits, and changing it to two attempts. Who do this ppl think they are, these ppl have probably never competed in track let alone even seen a meet.
