I trained at Suhr sports back in high school and the tequnique within the training used is simmilar to the eastern european style as in Bubka and Tarsov's method.

Congrats to Mary and the rest of the crew at Suhr Sports Team.

Keep the Fairport Tradition goin Jen!

I personally think being a former gymnast is more of a hinderance in the long run. They tend to be able to get vaulting sooner than most, but you spend years breaking them of all the good gymnastics habits that are bad habits for vaulting.

Like casting out, pointing toes, poor running mechanics, swinging belly-up, etc...

Good point.

I guess that shows if you take a great athlete and teach them the right way to pole vault, big things can happen
