We got some promising vaulters in Texas that are sophmores I saw the other week, Sam Retzloft, Nick Weber, and a kid in Mansfield Scott something. All 14' plus and look promising to see 17' maybe there senior year. Nick Weber has maybe the best speed and run I've seen out of any vaulter I've seen or coached in years, I just need to get him onto longer poles and He could be 16' by the end of the year. Look out for those guys to show up soon

Sam Ewing of Arkansas jumped 15'7" last year as a freshman.
Battling some injuries this year, but he brings it with some serious speed, strength, free take off and straight trail leg all the way to the top of the pole. Hes one of the most fearless vaulters ive ever seen, he plants anything you give him without hesitation. Look for him to be mid 16's a few months after he recovers from his injuries, and pushing 17' by mid junior year.
