U of A outdoor too....

Mondo (of course) with 4 possible set ups for runways. The bleachers are so big and long on both sides of the runway set up, that a cross wind just isn't possible. Then you have 4 possible pit set ups, 2 one way and 2 the other, so you can run guys and girls together if you like, but no matter what you will either have a tailwind or no wind at all. Not to mention the lights so that night vaulting is just as bright as in the day.
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph

I'm gonna have to say Granada High School because they have a perfect pole vault pit with a slightly downhill runway, and they always get a tail wind....
PR: 10'8" (so far!)
