We're taking this one old school!

We will be hold an aluminum pole vault competition at the Bellingham Parks and Rec All-Comer's meet on July 25 and August 28. This is your chance to relive the "glory days" of our sport. We have multiple 10', 12' and 14' aluminum poles, as well as brand new Gill triangular crossbars. Don't think you'd like to try jumping over something so unforgiving? No worries, we'll have fiberglass bars as well.

The cost is $4 per day, and also gives you the opportunity to compete in all events offered. For more info please check out the Registration .pdf

We will also be holding our regular vault competition on our second pit, so even if you don't want to try aluminum there is still plenty of vaulting to be had.

Whoa!!

This is my kind of competition!

Although, I would have to come to the meet with a bamboo pole. I feel I would do better. Triangle metal crossbar...?
That's where I got my PR. No worries there.

Down here, bamboo is plentyful. Free, too. Just go out and cut it down... instant pole. I cut down two for our kids at camp. They didn't even
notice that they were bamboo until they took a good look. After that, I couldn't keep them away from the poles!

Bamboo PR's: 10-0 boys, 8-0 girls. I made 8-0. I am still sore!

Good luck on the meet. I wish I could be there!

Cheers,
