Maybe, the clubs and their coaches are busy making better vaulters?

Well i figured some of the top experts on PVP could brag up the clubs, it does not have to be the person running the club. There is a long running thread on the top college programs so thought we could get one running on high school clubs.
I know AVC had a stint where they had the best guy in the country almost every year. I have heard of Rusty Shealy in SC but have not seen too many vaults out of SC lately. And Desert Vista has always had some of the top girl vaulters.
But other than those, I have not noticed any single clubs producing large amounts of vaulters lately.

As far as I know Vault High coached by Todd Cooper is pretty consistent about putting out good vaulters. Vault High's Emily Brigham recently won junior nationals!

Thanks for the plug. Actually it's "Just Vault"
Emily is an alternate on the National Junior Team. 13'-31/2" in DesMoines but jumped 13'-7 3/4" Last Weekend. She should have a great career at South Dakota.
These things go in cycles like anything else but this year we did have 57 State Meet Qualifier's in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois. With 44 of them placing and numerous state champions. Hard to keep track of but I believe in the last 7 years we have had 33 girl's over 11' or higher 10 girl's over 12' or higher and 3 girl's over 13' or higher.
35 boy's over 14' or higher 12 boy's over 15' or higher 4 boy's over 16' or higher and 1 over 17'+

Oops! Sorry about the typo on the club name typed faster than I proof read! And I'm sure we'll see Emily at NCAA Championships in the next couple of years!
