PR's on a 14 1/2 pole?

Unread postby pvdad81 » Fri Jul 20, 2007 6:04 pm

I was wondering what heights other vaulters had cleared on poles 14'6"? Is 16'+ possible or is 15'6" more realistic?

i've seen a hs'er jump 16'1" on a 14' pole. you're better off moving up poles though.

Moving up poles is what promped the question. My son, who is capping a 14' pole and jumping 15', will soon be transitioning to a 14'7" pole and we wanted to set some goals. I would still like to find out what others have cleared with a 14 1/2' pole.
