What college would you say had the best all-time polevault list? Some teams off the top of my head would be tenessee, kansas, fresno state, texas, etc... who would you say has the best all time list, and why?

Dave Hodge 18'4
Scotty Miller 18'4

Abiline Christian

Billy Olson 19'0
Brad Pursley 18'10
Dale Jenkins 18'8
Cam Miller 18'4 (I think he was at ACU--might be UT though)
Jason Pierce 18'4

Tennessee, Baylor, Texas, Kansas, Abilene Christian and maybe Cal Poly have all had at least 5 guys over 18'.

Tennessee: avg. of top 10 list based on the above post = about 5.52m. thats a pretty good average for 10 guys. I wonder how many schools average over 18 feet for their top 10 list. I bet texas is pretty good.

Texas
Davis 5.90
Hunter 5.70
S. Miller 5.60
Guidry 5.55
J. Miller 5.52
Kilmartin 5.40 i
Can't remember his name from Van, TX in '98 5.35
Another guy from around 90 with 5.35 also i think
dunno after that. UT has rarely had more than 2 or 3 vaulters at a time on the roster so they don't have that depth other schools have.
