This seems a little out of my region since I've spent my life in California and Texas, but my wife is from Ohio so I've adopted the state after my visits. I like to keep an eye on how things are going for you all. Congrats on a great year and to all those who love and help pole vaulting and pole vaulters.

I’m writing this because I am constantly asked to recommend good schools around the country where vaulters can thrive. There is nothing I hate worse than seeing a talented athlete go to a program where they don’t prosper both academically and athletically.

Though I was fortunate enough to have several scholarship offers from big schools for football, I chose Southwest Texas State (in order to pole vault) where they had a 15’ foot vaulter who had only made 12’ in high school two years before. Their freshman had made 15’ 6â€Â
