Fastest collegians.......hmmmmm. I would say Brian Hunter. That guy had some blow! Although It is hard to objectively say who is fastest without the figures. One thing I do know.......just because someone turns there legs over real fast or can run a 10.2 doesnt mean there automatically going to jump high. It totally helps, but it dont mean you'll be fast with a pole! Jomrus.....I am Fairbanks. 5th year senior at SWT. good luck at NC's.
Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties.

i calculated my speed in meters per second
heres what i got so far i had two figures from two different runs. the math my be a bit spotty
, but i tried my best. i used my check step (2 strides from takeoff) and my takeoff. the diffence was 26 ft = 7.9248m. it took me from 51.9333s to 52.7666s to take off. a diference of .8333s. it took me .8333s to cover 7.9248m, that is 9.51 m/s.
this may not be accurate, but if we are to find the fastest vaulter we must each figure our own speed in m/s. im gonna retest again to see if i get similar results. If anyone has sugesstions for getting a more accurate measurement post them.
