From Gavin Tucker: We just had our PV Coach have to back out of coaching our vaulters at Seattle Academy this spring...which started today. Wanted to ask if you happen to know anyone in your circles who may be interested in coaching some HS PV this spring? It comes with a stipend, but the person wou...

A set field size of a reasonable number would be great. What is a reasonable number? Maybe 12. Knowing your fate a week out from the meet would be ideal and save a lot of stress. And no more picking random people to be in the field, because they used to be good or they have charisma.

I think the heaviest man should be updated too, Darren Niedermeyer weighs around 220lbs and has jumped 5.71m. He is the heaviest pole vaulter I have met.
