For one of the very good high school pole vaulters to jump over 18’0â€Â

well, we've got low 17's right now

I'm not saying that it IS going to happen...but you can never rule out what can happen on a warm day with a tail wind blowing, a big crowd clapping in time (maybe one day we will figure that one out :P ), and big bars going up with great vaulters getting up on some big poles....

Shoot, we can all dream :) .

Have you seen some of these guys jump? Scott Roth is 18 feet in the air everytime he leaves the ground. Mike Morrison and Jordan Scott are athletic beasts with a ton of talent and could pop a big one any moment. Spencer McCorkel is also capable of such heights in the near future. Hall, Hanson, Woepse, Frawley, Peterson, Weirich, Winder, Lynch, etc, etc!

All of these guys are incredible athletes and, with the right conditions, could post some huge marks.
