I don't know about without a pole, but with a pole, I'd have to say that Jeremy Scott is pretty darn fast. The guy doesn't move his legs as fast as some people, but he eats up the ground like it's his job.

Not sure who it is, but it ain't El' Grande (Jermey Scott). Out of Bell Athletics Daniel Ryland holds our speed trap record for pv'ers.

Well geese, then I'm slow as crap... Jeremy Scott is faster than me. But that's probably why he vaults 18'8'' and I vault 17'6''

I don't know of the other NCAA'ers out there, but Fairbanks consistently hits in the 9.4-9.8 meters/second range from 16 steps, and has hit 10.0 meters/second on a run through - going a little too fast to plant that one.

Fairbanks? is that a last name, or where the vaulter is from? I'm curious as to who that is...
