Got the official interp from our state assoc. (Illinois) It can all be boiled down into one sentence.

The pole and the vaulter must at some point move in opposite directions.

IMO, the advantage should go to the competitor that has performed best in the current meet , not the one who achieved a better result in some prior meet. May I approach this from an officials perspective? You hit the nail on the head with your bold type. The problem is that, in a one day competitio...

USATF certified or recognized officials must officiate the meet/event. A strict reading of this would mean that athletes could not qualify abroad? That's not the intent, but I will ask if Duffy is concerned about smaller international meets like street vaults and such. I think the word "recogn...

I want to apologize to everyone. This whole pole sticker thing started in New Jersey, and I cannot believe that now this is becoming an important issue nationally. Don't feel bad. We have all had to deal with that special kind of idiot who has important friends at the state level and the intelligen...

Basically, like any other teenage boy, being told I couldn't do it just made me want it more. My grade school would not allow Vaulting. When I got to high school it was the first thing I wanted to do. Of course it took a year to convince my coach it wouldn't interfere with the high jump.
