Need advice on buying a longer pole

I have a female vaulter who is currently on a 12' 135 pacer mystic with an 11' 6" handgrip right now. With the expectation of her improvement, she will need a longer pole and I want to buy it before the season starts. Would the next step up for her be a 13' 140 being that she begins to crush this 12' that she is on right now?

A 13'140 is a lot bigger, check out this chart: http://www.skyjumpers.com/articles/pvpr ... table.html

I would recommend a 12'6 135, it would be about 10lbs bigger than what she has now.

12'6 poles are great, I highly recommend them for girls as a transition between 12's and 13's.
