i started to polevualt last year as a seveth grader i jumped 10 foot and we just started vaulting again and i ve already jumped 12 i was just wandering how the everyone else does

They didn't have girls pole vault when I was in 8th grade. Oh wait WA doesn't sponsor pole vault in 8th grade anyway. And the thought had never crossed my mind to do track at all at the time.

But still

I vaulted one week during my summer, and I cleared 7'6" I believe. But we didn't have a pole vault for 8th grade when I was in middle school.

i never thought of doing and i just tried track to kill and hour of school
then i made the high jump team and i needed a second event to go to meets so i tryed it out and i started to bet everyone of the guys at the school by the end of the season i medaled in everymeet and won conference(thats as far as 8th graders get to go)

i was in eighth grade last year, my PR was 10'7.

wow thats really good for girsl are girls 8th grade record is 8 foot 5 but thats going to be broken but no as high as 10 7

Wow...none of the middle schools around where I am offer pole vault....actually, after I quit gymnastics at the end of eighth grade and my friends asked me what sport I was going to do next, I had to explain to them what pole vaulting was because they truly had no clue.

0'0" because I didnt start vaulting until 1/2 way through freshman year
