News about national level high school pole vaulting, pole vaulters, rules, etc. Things that are of local interest only should go in the regional forums below. High schoolers wanting to chat should go to the High School Lounge.
I've only went 13' so far! It's my PR I guess last year I was vaulting 11'6" for my first year! I am trying to get on new poles! I like new ones But dont have the money lol Lance

I don't know about small schools but my school is 5A and has about 3000 students, but the largest school in Texas (Allen high school) is in my district and is between 5 and 8 thousand. (that is a pretty wide range but I heard it and can't remember whether it was five or eight.

They start with 1A(smallest) and go up to 5A(largest). I dont know the sizes of the smaller schools, but 3As have about 600 students, 4As around 1000-1600 and 5A schools have anywhere from 1800 students and up. It's a big state lol
16'2" is a heck of a jump no matter what class. I jumped 15'6" in high school back in 1982. I had 30 kids in my class, 78 in the school. Keep up the good work. What year are you? Where are ya headed for college? It's pretty cool all of the letters you get from all the different colleges. even if you never heard of them. Any big schools?
8'6'' is great. next comes 9' before ya know it. Stay on your pole and finish it. Don't get in a hurry> enjoy the ride. I've got a girl at my school doing the same thing, she likes to go over on her side, or even on her back. hard habit to break.
I got 9' at area but tomorrow is regionals and i'm goin for 10'6" cause I've been getting 10'9" at practice this whole week with my standards slammed all the way back.
ive gotten 9'8'' (first year girl vaulter) and the season is almost over and my goal is to get 10!! ahh i ahve to get it. haha but im pretty happy with how im doin.
