I dont know if this has been posted before or not, but i'm curious as what made each of you want to pole vault? Also, what drives you each and every day to get out there and give it your all? Just curious

I just like the feeling when the pole launches you skyward.
I love going higher and higher, thats what motivates me to keep going too.

never was a big fan of team sports. i love individual sports with a strong team involvement though. of course it helps that i cant throw, catch, or shoot all that well. i wasnt too bad of a hitter in baseball, but nothing spectacular and i was a little afraid of the ball. plus i just love to vault. it is the greatest event in the greatest sport in the world.

The way I got into pole vaulting is a very weird one. I didnt play any sports through high school and my senior year a friend needed a sparing partner and said if I joined the wrestling team he would give me a pair of shoes, so I joined and after the season was over I wanted to compete some more. Another friend of mine was a pole vaulter and he asked me to join up and the rest is history.
So I guess it took a free pair of wrestling shoes to get me to vault.

12'6 does not suck...I've been vaulting since the end of my freshman year at high school and I only have a PR of 11'6" and now I'm a Freshman at WSC, and I haven't had much of a chance to test my vaulting yet...but still...
