Dude, that is awesome.

When you're inducted into the NAHS [National Art Honor Society] and the hat you make to describe yourself, looks like a pole vault pit, complete with a bead "vaulter" jumping up into the air with a pole....hehe...it's pretty sweet.

When you have to pay your own way to a national championship meet. (imagine kobe bryant having to pay his way to orlando for games 3-4-5)

Airport security knows you and helps check your poles in!

You've contemplated moving to a country outside of USA, Russia, Australia, or Germany so you have a chance at making a world team (guess i should add france too these days)

You punish yourself by working out harder after you jumped bad at a meet because you were feeling run down.... (whoops)

You go to the track for hurdles practice but you end up pole vaulting cause you just can't resist...
Run. Plant. Swing. Extension. Push off. Clearance. It's as simple as that...

without any warm-up and with groin injury enter at 5.85m and fail. Then raise at 5.90m and clear.

When even your school's team [and the pole vault part of the track team] say, "Yeah...you know EVERYTHING." and ask about something :P

At XC the other day, my coaches [pole vault and XC/distance coaches], myself, and some of the team were talking about the world championships and they asked ME about the world records and heights and such and I think my PV coach was like, "Yeah, she knows like, EVERYTHING..." xD
