Are there any drills (specifically high bar) that one can do to speed up the trail leg? Also, how do you stop "tucking"?

Swinging Bubka's (as seen here:
http://www.polevaultpower.com/media/vid ... bubkas.mov) and...don't tuck. Make sure you have a free take-off and are taking off tall and if you have strong enough ab's, your swing will happen. Practice kicking a soccer ball with a completely straight-leg. To build up those ab-muscles, you can try swining-bubka's without the swing. Try to do 3 sets of 10 without any swing, keeping your trail-leg as straight as possible. -6P
