a good vault for a freshman would be somewhere around 12' 6"...in my opinion....of course it depends on your definition of good..12' 6" would set you up to probably around a 15 foot vaulter by the end of HS....probably, but that all depends on teh person and when you peak and fill out, etc etc etc...the list goes on.
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

a good vault for a 9th grader is 10'6... but thats around where i live. The junior high distric qualifing is 8'6.. high school is 10ft..from where i live. And state qualifing is 13ft. I jumped 11'9 in 9th grade..i was ranked 1st in the distric :P . But keep on trying. You want to spend more time off the runway doing drills than being on the runway. A 2:1 ratio. :D
