Yeah, if a vaulter has to go back-to-back, we'll just take our time getting the bar ready.

i am pretty sure usatf rules are that they have two minutes to initiate the jump, plus the 6 so, but I like the previously mentioned idea of taking time to move the standards and put the bar up. It seems like if the vaulter is on though, they rarely need more than a minute or two to get runway ready and go.
What is nice about this sport is that I am responsible for most everything.
