I am a junior, I will probably go to Texas Tech seeing as how my whole family went there, my brother vaulted for them the last four years. Actually I haven't recieved much about pole vault since I am only a junior, but I receive at least five pieces of mail a day for test scores and your right I have never heard of most of them.

jumped 10 feet at a meet.

i only jump good at meets, i blow at practice lol. i knock the bar off at 6-7 feet lol. i call it LHD...Low Height Disease.

i been vaulting for about 5 weeks and i still can't get inverted, it's really pissing me off. i'm clearing bars with my feet on top like i'm standing on it.

haha yeah it was on the spirit i could have jumped like 2 feet higher but my plant was messed up and i just gave up after like 13'1'' i just couldnt get the height holding so far down and i was going way to far into the pit i needed to use a bigger stick. which i did on my last attempt but i came up shallow but with plenty of height.
