Number of Athletes: Six

Length of Warmup Routine: Five minutes

Send DVD of warmup routine to:
Bob Fraley
4860 N. Woodrow # 105W
Fresno, CA 93726
Top 5 teams will be selected and will compete for the National Title at the National Pole Vault Summit in Reno on Friday Night, January 4, 2008.


Deadline for entry is December 26, 2007

I talked to Coach Fraley today and he clarified a few things:

- The routines do not include vaulting stuff
- They can be as creative as you want, like gymnastics type stuff (but they should at least have some kind of loose connection to things that might be part of a pole vault warmup)
- You can definitely have music


Oh yeah and I guess I am going to be one of the celebrity judges, so be sure to hook me up with bribes if you want to win. ha ha

Does the number of members have to be exactly six or can you have less?

And what surface will the warm up be on?

Thanks

Here is a sample video

Unfortunately, CS Fullerton was pretty much the only group to send in an entry (it was a pretty last minute deal), so the warmup competition is being delayed until next year.

Yeah it would have been fun, but there wasn't a lot of time to prepare and a five minute video is pretty long. Also we didn't know if it would be performed on concrete or something a little safer for throwing crazy flips. The vaulting will be enough excitement for one night if the elites bring their A-game!
