As to never getting anything written about you? That too has a simple answer. Write your own story! There isn't a weekly local paper in any home town that won't print a well written story about your event and the teams' progress. Surely there has to be a journalism student on the pv team or a parent that could write and e-mail or call in results to your local paper. If you want more notoriety, create it yourself. In the PR business it's called "creating a buzz". If no one will do it for you then do it yourself. If you're not willing to put forth the effort to accomplish possitive results to either of these subjects, then you'll get what you've always gotten...........nothin'. And if you get nothin' because you weren't willing to do something about it............don't b*tch about it. To be a team member, you have to be a contributing "member" of a team.

Oh definately, in our town, pole vault is the newest fad. Me and my fellow team mates have been breaking records left and right, and our coaches have a lot of connections so we've been in the papers alot, had a couple of back page stories just about pole vaulting. WE had to make noise to get attention and because of that we go looked at by the whole town, and now we have a billion kids wanting to pole vault at my old highschool now..
