Dan Pfaff coached Jacob Davis (19'4) and Brian Hunter (18'10?) at the University of Texas - maybe more 18'ers I don't know of

One of my colleges coaches isnt the pole vault coach but he is one of the best coaches around. Anyone know the name Berny Wagner. Well he is the guy who coached Dick Fosbury the inventor of the Fosbury flop. Just thought I would throw that in here

Tom Williams, Univ of Oklahoma, was named the USA TF Collegiate Pole Vault Coach of the Year at Reno this year. No offense to the previous coach but I wish he was there when I was jumping.
