yes pulling the unsafe card also works well but can sometimes back fire with the termination of a program so be careful that was what almost happened to vaulting at our school till i got pissed and had a little talk with our AD.

Vaulter870 our posts are almost real time convos... Yeah I am currently thinking as to how I should approach the current issue.To radical or agressive would only be stupid so I will go with a modest suggestion.

haha yes this is what happens when you are trying to write an essy you get bored and have to do something every half hour anyways i would deffinetly be careful about what you end up doing just maby send a letter to your Athletic Director about the probublem or a vcvpcoach said tell your coach that the box is illegal.

I may have been forceful in my response but you're right to go with a soft sell to the head coach. I do have a question, do you have a pole vault coach?

Also, a steel box is only a $170 bucks. You might offer to raise the money thought donations or fundraising.

I measured today and the box is 32" front of the front lip to back of the back lip. 8.5" deep and 13" wide at the top of the back I will attempt to remeber to take a picture tommorow..PV coach HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Football country the track coach does his best to help me and I goto tecula on the weekends. It is not as old as the vert walls but it has like 100degree slope on the sides and like 95-100 on the back....Also the large hole rusted in the left side of the box likes to snack on my already dwindling supplies of pole tips.
