Hey guys i was just wondering if anyone else on newschoolers was a pole vaulter its a pretty unique event and not alot of people do it so if your a pole vaulter tell me
I did it freshman year but then the pole vault coach at my school left so there wasn't anyone to coach it. I got 9' which was fairly good for a freshman but definitely nothing crazy. Now I do the 400 as my main event and do high jump as well. But cross country is where it's at.
a girl at a rival school of ours broke her pole and impaled and killed herself, so yes there is that danger.. Ive broken 2 poles and have seen at least 10 break and its scary as shit but if you know how to handle it its not too dangerous
i want to try it but i have no idea where id have access to a giant ass pole, a mat and whatever you call the thing your jumping over. looks really fun
