I think all the great vaulters have battled/pushed through injury at one time or another

I broke my school record for the first time after I flew into the standards and couldn't move my legs for about 3 hours!

5.01 Meters or 16-5 with a badly bruised knee from warm-ups... I was doing a plant drill and my top hand slipped, causing the pole to recoil and hit me in the knee and forehead, at our conference meet none the less. At the time it was my PR after the meet, but no longer is the case...

10' with a tendon that got ripped off the bone in my left thumb and a pin in my left hand (I'm normal handed). I'm not as crazy as I sound cuz I was doing one handed jumps from a 3 left.

my best jump while hurt would be my PR lol. 12'6". strained quad; pulled hip flexor during warmups... hurt like a mofo.
