Is there another school you could practice at? There are quite a few pretty rich schools out here that don't have pits, but they commute to another school for practice, well good luck. Winter track? I wish. I am so ready!!

Send your athletic director emails with all the new safety stuff about mat size by email. Also maybe your school board. Also, I heard someone talking about that girls in Iowa should bring in the fact of Title IX....not getting a chance to vault and have a chance to be in the running for college scholarships. I don't know if not having the equipment to vault falls into that category, but.... :idea:

About going somewhere to vault.....my daughter's high school now has no PV coach, but olympic size pits....and they buy 6 poles per year. But I am going to have to drive her to Tulsa, Ok which is 2 hrs from here every Wednesday night and back to be able to work with a good quality PV coach. I also drive her to work with other good quality coaches as far as 10 hours away....we just don't get to do that very often. But good coaching pays off...it has for her! So it is worth your time to commute if possible. :idea:
