I am 5'7" and 23 years old i weigh 135 and have jumped 5.35 on a 5 meter pole. Ask Bryan he made them for me last year and personally delivered them to a meet in southern Illinios. How small is that.

when i was in high school my junior year i was 4'10" 115lbs and i jumped 13' on a 13' 130 Spirit. my senior year i grew a bit and i was 5'6" 130lbs and i went 15'7" on a 15 foot Pacer with a 14'3" grip. So i am a small guy believe me. My freshman year in college my indoor pr was 4.90m and my outdoor was 4.89. I won the Conference USA pole vault champ, with 15-11 on a 16'160 Spirit. It was kind of hard to get used to the 16' poles but this year 17' here i come. Does this suffice your wishes for info?

I enjoy being small makes everyone look twice. and wish the shorter guys all the best. I was about the same as you though jump 5.10 in high school on a 15'6" 160 pacer and now jumped 5.35 on a 16' 170 carbon. I still have more things to bring. The funny thing s my teamate Caps 5.20 210-220 and jumps 5.50 and higher of course he is 6'5" 190 and takes off at 5m. Power to the short vaulters :yes:
And on hunter I just don't like him because i've jumped against he cocky butt alot. He not as great as he thinks he is.

Little guy right here, 5'10, 160lbs. My gift was speed. I made my strength through hard lifting. I personally think anyone under 6' deffinently has to have some speed to make it big!

Yeah Bryan it Jeremy From Kansas. I wish i could of made it too the indy street vault sounds like it was a great deal. I jump in a meet this summer Called " JUMP FOR MOA" it was a memorial meet for the Witchita vaulter Moa simili that got killed last year. we made over $4500 in donations just at the meet not including what some business donated. Iwas a great deal and it was to buy legal pads for schools that needed them.

thats awesome man.....i can't believe three vaulters died last year though....it was such a reality check...i just remember everyone asking me about my vaulting after that like "is it really that dangerous"
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
