Pole Vaulting References in the Media

Unread postby OUvaulterUSAF » Mon Jun 27, 2005 9:31 pm

Ok folks, start posting anywhere in movies, magazines, or television where you've seen pole vaulting or pole vaulting was referenced. Track meets on TV, T&F meets in the newspaper or a track/sports magazine do not count.

I have so many but I'll just do one for now.

Movie: Jeff Speakman in "The Perfect Weapon"

Without Limits: At the Olympic Hotel, someone yells pole vaulters over there.

And in the Bible:
He who looks to the sky will not plant" - Ecclesiates 11.4
