Travel Team Reaches 57 Participants

Kids just want to pole vault and love the environment. That’s the buzz when you come to one of our meets here in Southern California. Growing substantially from last year, Vaulter Magazine – Vaulter Club launched their first meet for the 2016 Fall / Winter Travel Team. It was a spooky event with a Halloween themed competition.

The program is working, and as we head to 75 athletes actively participating, we eventually break the teams up into brackets to maintain the level of professionalism for 2017. Few of our big names this year are San Diego State University, Dean Starkey Ranch, Arizona, Reno Pole Vault Summit and Mt.SAC after Thanksgiving.

If it weren’t for the heat and lack of wind on Saturday, the meet would have been flawless. Mid-day the heat was right at about 80, and the vaulters handled it with no problem at all.
Watching some of the best boys around is always treat! Making 16’3″ look natural, and that’s just a start for the boys. For the girl’s side, we topped out at 11’6, ” and that’s ideal for starting the season out right.
