Ok folks, start posting anywhere in movies, magazines, or television where you've seen pole vaulting or pole vaulting was referenced. Track meets on TV, T&F meets in the newspaper or a track/sports magazine do not count.

I have so many but I'll just do one for now.

Movie: Jeff Speakman in "The Perfect Weapon"
