hurdles and pv

[txpolevaulter_k25]

i always heard that hurdlers and pv'ers go hand in hand in track i was just wondering if anybody else runs hurdles i just thought it was ironic that i heard that and i happen to be good at both

[ACvault]

both pole vaulting and hurdles require speed, athleticism, and coordination. there was a guy on my team last year who ran 14.8 in the 110h and jumped 14'7.

[txpolevaulter_k25]

wow! he was good

[tigervaulter727]

there's a girl who was state champ pv last year, and got 3rd in 100 hurdles

[master]

The best girl athlete I have coached went to State and was:

1st 100m hurdles - 14.79
1st Long Jump - 17' 10.25"
2nd PV (tied for 1st in height, but had 1 more miss) - 11' 9"
3rd Triple Jump - 36' 7"

She was the only girl on the team to score points and her points earned our team 4th place.

now that is a true athlete

[PVgoalie101]

wow i'm impressed...i run hurdles and vault but i'm definitly not scoring all my teams points

[CrossBarHOpper]

Last year for the freshman track team i would get 1st in polevault and either 5th or 6th in the 300 hurdles... most times

I ran hurdles too, but never got much under 17. Never set the world on fire in the vault either. I can still 3-step 42" hurdles at age 48.

In highschool i ran 14.8 in the 110's and vaulted 15'1....now im hitting 16' in practice (not meet yet), and hurdles is around 15.3 at the college height

[joedavis-shirt]

yeah i think that the hurdles work on speed and take off similar to pole vault

[SinCity]

I think they are compimentary to one another. I think the actions of the takeoff can simulate one another and the attacking of each is beneficial to each.

I coached a few boys who did both. As the hurdle times went down the vault heights went up and vice a versa. Boys with not much natural talent, worked their tails off for 6 yrs and by the time they were Sr's they were 14 ft vaulters and pretty good hurdlers.
