I may be biased - but SUNY Cortland has an excellent Athletic Traning program. We're relatively close to Maine and our winter weather probably wouldn't bother you. Most Cortland students come from New York, but I have had several students in my biomechanics classes from other states. Last semester one of the athletic training students in my class was from Minnesota. I can recall at least one athetic training student who was from Maine. Several years ago one of my woman vaulters was from Maineas well.

Check out the SUNY Cortland Athletic Training website at:
http://www.cortland.edu/esss/majors/training2.htm

We have a OK vaulting program for NCAA Div III - lots of poles, several pits, a decent indoor facility, a core group of 5-10 vaulters (men and women) each year, and a volunteer coach (that's me) dedicated to pole vaulting.

Check out the website and if you are interested - email me. I'm a professor in the Department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies - where the Athletic Training major is housed.

That is what happend to me and one of my teammates. We were two of the 22 accepted into the athletic training program for that year, and the dean told us that it isn't impossible to be an athlete in athletic training, but it is improbable. Alot of times the student trainers follow an athletic team, and you can't train for a team you are on.
