At the Dartmouth Relays back on January 5, Flo Meiler of Shelburne, Vt., set a world record in the pole vault for women between the ages of 70 and 74. While I doubt there are many women (or men for that matter) pole vaulting past the age of 70, the fact that there are any is pretty impressive to me. But Meiler managed to clear 6-11 in the pole vault, and while I can honestly say I do not know much about pole vaulting, the fact that a 72-year old women is doing it has me very impressed.
