Science of the sport

Pole vaulting is a wonderful illustration of how one type of energy is converted to another type of energy. Through the proper use of the pole vault, the energy of motion associated with the sprint is converted into the energy needed to overcome gravity and reach a certain height. The energy of motion is called “kinetic energy,â€Â

I am from southwest, and I practice every day with Andy and Ryan. They are really great polevaulters, and Andy has just upped his PR by making 14' 6". Andy will be getting atleast 15 ' by the end of the season, says our coach Jerrad Perkins. I'm so happy to work with such great polevaulters, and really great guys. Ryan and Andy are probably the funniest people you will ever meet, and Jerrad....wow what a guy.
