Hes number 9 all time now. Came close to being number four. No doubt he can get it , but will he? I say yes.

[SweetPVJumps]

i say yes too and i hope so but you never know whats gonna happen. lets just hope he stays healthy and strong, cuz we know hes got all the tools and skills to do it

[achtungpv]

He's only improved 4 cm in 3 years so we'll see...he definitely has the physical tools to do it...but so have a dozen other guys.

[VTechVaulter]

anyone who saw his jumps at NCAA will answer with

YES

he was booming bars. hes just got a couple things to figure out, and he will be ridiculous. he was using a 12.0 with the standards around 75-80

tried an 11.6, but got amped and his step came under. i think if he stays healthy he will take some serious looks at it

"but so have a dozen other guys"...to go 19'6" in college?

If he stays healthy and continues to improve technically, he is capable of jumping 6 meters in college. Will it happen is an entirely different story.

I wish, i watched the entire show on CBS and they never showed anything related to pole vault. The closest they got was teasing us with the picture of a vaulter piking over a bar in the BACKGROUND of switching to a field event like shot put or triple jump. Its dissapointing, where did you all see it, assuming you werent watching it in person?
