Sorry! I meant that it WOULD be nice to have the option! As far as I know, it's still illegal to wear gloves for us masters!

Living in Iowa, I've found that when it's cold outside, it really helps to wear gloves (the football kind with a tacky vinyl). I've used them before in warm-ups during college meets, but took them off for competition since I didn't know if it was legal. It's true that I don't feel my grip is as good...

Yes, Art took the indoor WR from 3.70 to 3.72 for the 65-69 age divison at the Mid-America meet in Ft. Collins, CO on Aug.28 (where the PV was held inside)! He also had some good attempts at 13'6". Nice job, Art!

I put my 4 vaults on youtube. Google Kay Glynn on youtube if this link doesn't work. Love that 100 degree vaulting weather in Texas!

I only knew him as Rob. I only learned of this tragic accident this evening. I am a female pole vaulter --and a grandma. I am 57 years old, and I am friends with the vaulters and coaches at Grinnell Colllege--they have given me valuable vaulting advice at all the meets where we have been competing t...

I was told that there's a street vault in Lincoln on Friday, July 17. I'll be there---I just don't know where or what time! Anyone got the details? Thanks! Kay

Yes, I have a conveyor belt runway. I started out with a dirt runway. Then, I heard about things like conveyor belts.

Not if I can help it! It was one of those "my step's off, but wing it anyway!!!" AND, I just ordered a cable for my video cam so I can become computer savvy, too! Maybe I'll get some good video next time.....!
The birthday was good....love cake! PVdancer

Hey dj--Just wanted to thank you once again for giving me all those tips as I made my way through the decathlon, and there's no way I'd have made that vaulting pr without your coaching! I have enough trouble just doing the vault without having to think about poles & standards & wind & gr...

You can see a few clips of me PVing in my yard as I appear on Country Fried Home Videos on CMT (Country Music Television) on Fri., Aug 18. It'll air here in Iowa at 8 p.m. with repeats to follow. They filmed part of my--as they call it--athletic feats of flexibility & strength here at my home a ...
