i am not counting on this kirk 1. the one kid gets nerves and does not do well in big meets 2. the other two kids capable of it haven't gone over 13' in a couple weeks 3. i havent even cleared 13'6" but i was over it by a lot (id guesstimate my hip height at 14'3"ish) but the standards wer...

so thats a no? or does that mean i have to check with them. must it stay consistent with more than one vaulter left?

ok so i have a district meet in 2 weeks and i have a question. so there are 2 automatic bids to states and i dont anticipate anyone making the SQH. so my question is, hypothetically 3 of us makes the height we are capable of (13'6") but i have the most misses. ive researched a lot about the oth...

wow a lot of info and i cant thank you enough kirk and becca. kirk, i do agree with keeping the standards back and that moving them forward is just to get higher bar height and not to improve technique, and there is so much left for me to improve.. my run mostly. i dont actually have a 14 165 i just...

ok well on the 13' make i was holding 13 1 on the 14 165, standards at 25, then i gripped 13 4 and blew through at 13' 6" with standards at 26. this is all from a 6 step. what grip is good for the 14 170?

had a meet today, and made 13' new PR!!!! :D :D :D , worked on the steps being good, and i was a lot better, hit my mid about every jump and my take off bout half the time, other times i was about 6 inches under. i definitely have to work on running faster at take off but thats a different topic. i ...

i have the mid mark chart but im under on my mid too, i know i stretch the steps a little bit but i know its improved a lot. ive tryed moving back but i just compensate and stretch more. i just gotta trust it i guess.

yeah ive brought the run down from a 6, to a 5. now i know without video its hard but i should try to make my strides shorter as in quickening my feet as opposed to just backing up on the runway?

yes i totally understand, and i have been trying to fix this, but just because i'm consistently under does NOT mean im trying to be under. My run is horrendous and its my main focus. i have jumped 12' from a 3 step yet my PR is only 12'6". 95% of the time i am landing straight ( not left or rig...

ok so this helped a lot even though im still consistently under :( , like i said i have a 13'7 170 and a 14 170, and its in between the poles i need. the kid at the meet yesterday let me use his 14 165 and it helped so much but i had no idea on the standards. is there anything i can do with my 13'7 ...

i will definitely do that thanks a lot.

i blew through my first attempt at 11'6" they were at 26, made at 28, blew through at 12'6" on 28, and 29, then made it at 30 and my chest grazed the bar.
