Sr. John Smith vaults 16-0 at Stratford Aacademy in Macon Ga. Wed march 26. He missed at 16-4, but was clearly over the bar by about a foot and hit it on the way down. John will be vaulting at the FSU relays this weekend. Good luck John!

John has visited Auburn University. He has received some interest from a few other schools. He is working hard and his private coach Charlie Polhamus thinks that he will hit 17' very soon.

John smith over 16'6 at fla state and just grazed it coming down. Weighs 151- grip-14'10 on 15 -70. Has been 17' in practice. Going to try and get him on 16-60 with 15'4 grip. He's the real deal!!

If he's hitting bars on the way down, why are you trying to move him to a 1' longer pole and 6" higher grip? :confused:
