They didn't have girls pole vault when I was in 8th grade. :( Oh wait WA doesn't sponsor pole vault in 8th grade anyway. And the thought had never crossed my mind to do track at all at the time.

But still :P

I vaulted one week during my summer, and I cleared 7'6" I believe. But we didn't have a pole vault for 8th grade when I was in middle school.

Wow...none of the middle schools around where I am offer pole vault....actually, after I quit gymnastics at the end of eighth grade and my friends asked me what sport I was going to do next, I had to explain to them what pole vaulting was because they truly had no clue.
