I usually stay out of discussions on here but Altius you always seem to attack US vaulters when primarily this board is a US vaulters board and I don't think most people like the way you usually go about doing so. Also Chelsea Johnson does include rope vaulting into her training and obviously she is...

2 leg swing because you need both of them to kick backwards to create the long trail leg affect in the rope vault. Look at a gymnastics routine by a top male gymnast and look at his giant right before he dismounts, basically that is what you want to mimic. I have tries the classic one knee up and on...

I would have to say I am definitely in favor of rope vaulting but I have learned pole vaulting under the "Johnson" theory so I am biased in that sense. But after rupturing my Achilles last winter I spent more time on the rope vault then I have ever before and let me tell you it was very go...

Congrats to Melissa who has had 2 straight meets over 14 now, with 2 straight titles, in a couple meets with really tough competition. Best of luck to her at nationals!!

Mick Viken Sr. Josh Winder Sr. Kyle Reid Sr. Peter Geraghty Sr. Logan Pflibsen Jr. Tommy Stacey Sr. Japheth Cato Sr. Matt Page Sr. Josh Hodur Sr. All these guys can potentially be in the 16' range next year. The top 2 already are. All the others I mentioned have a pr of 15'. Should be a good year fo...

Ok thanks Becca I will keep all of that in mind. I am done with it now plus I need to focus on my meets the rest of June. You can lock it if you want. Oh and to answer somebodies question about the whole high school to college peg thing, I would totally be in favor of a universal peg length which wo...

I have to say that the most down to earth head coach is Ralph Spry at Auburn. He doesn't think he is better than anyone else BECAUSE he is a head coach at a D I level. In fact he promoted two assistants to assistant head coaches this year because he takes no glory in running the show. If only every ...

That is very true that they are volunteers and i would be more appreciative if they were in it for the right reasons. They are only looking to build their resumes and more importantly boost their ego. I don't see the part of it that it is in the benefit of the kids competing, this may be my personal...

A little side note to ponder.... They could of potentially had three 18 footers all for about exactly 1 scholarship. Now is that dirt cheap or what?!?!?! O well, I have the biggest chip on my shoulder now, I should go to Jr Nationals with a shirt that says F*** Universities and win the whole thing. ...

Sorry I have been in cali for the past few days with Jan Johnson and it looks like I missed a big topic. Yes I have been released to talk to other schools and visit schools. Whenever I want a complete release it can be done, this is only a safety net. My head has been spinning the past few weeks esp...

Oh no not the whole track program, the head coach is the old head coach at oregon (distance oriented) he got fired then quickly turned OU's program around to win Big 12 team title outdoors last year. The problem with a lot of these track and field head coaches these days is they think their sh** don...

not to mention they were college pegs, people were calling local high schools to get some high school ones.... All and all tho Josh won with the conditions that were presented
