BRILLIANT!!!! I've been trying to track down footage of Borya Celentano for ages!! -6P

I coached Borya Celentano from high school on and have some video from 13' to 18' 10 1/2" but it would have to be converted to an electronic format. Actually we were a team and learned together rather than me just coaching him. He's now a jet pilot and lands on aircraft carriers. Here's one he sent me a while back - http://www.bubbapv.com/Borya%20Lands.mov - Bubba

I still remember Borya PR'ing some ridiculous amount in the CA State Meet. Something like 9 or 15 inches.

Good call Wilson. Borya's PR going into the California State Meet was 15' 8". He jumped 15' 10", 16' 2" and 16' 6" all on 1st attempts and was close at 16' 10". Scott Slover cleared 16' 10" for the win.

In his peak Borya was 5' 8" and 165. He's returned the favor by giving me coaching and training advice over the past few years. SUPER talent and person. Bubba

Advantage Athletics never went anywhere! Tim Werner has been hiding out at Notre Dame HS and sending guys & gals to State consistently in the PV, HJ and many other events. An excellent coach, advisor, sponsor, and supplier through the AdvantageAthletics website (advantageathletics.com) for all your T&F needs. Great web site ........... check it out!
Thank you Tim, for all you've done to get me the World Indoor Championship in Kamloops!

Congrats Kirk and I too have had the benefit of friendship and guidance from Tim for many years. Bubba

Here is a little animation I made of Borya Celentano in 1999. He started every practice from a standing 35' (11m). He would take 3-4 jumps from there then move to 8 steps and take 3-4 etc., and stop at 12 steps. In meets he ran from 18 steps on 4.90m poles. This is 4.90m (16' 3/4") from standing 35’ on a 4.60m (15' 1") pole gripping about 4.20m (13' 9"). Bubba
