I vaulted in Pennsylvania in HS, I was recruited by syracuse, rutgers, yale (yes yale) tennessee and South Carolina. I wanted to improve and figured that vaulting at a school with the warmest weather would allow me to do so. We have a indoor facility here at USC, but only use it from december till t...

i agree with ashcraftpv....i too took accepted a position 2 weeks after the wrightsville beachvault. i work either 9-5, or 2-10. believe me, it sucks. i still live in SC, and lift on a fairly regular basis, but as far as running goes, its hard to train and not sacrifice anything work related. i woul...

"Doo Doo" Brown is not only a great coach and recruiter, he is a great pole vaulter. I was a vaulter for him for 4 years, and he helped me learn different aspects of the vault not too many coaches dwell on. I was a 15'5 PA state champ, and ended up with a collegiate PR of 17'1. I developed a bunch o...
