Hey Brian, what do you have to do to go to USA outdoor. Based on what I read it looked like only one standar for the fellas. It listed 5.50m as the qualifier.

I remember vaulting on that pit in high school (well maybe an older version). This video brings back lots of memories from that hill in the background. I was soooo happy when I cleared 13 feet my sophomore year using those mean green sky poles. I felt so lucky just to get to go to "Jefferson&qu...
