is it ok to pole vault when it is close to or below freezing? I wasnt sure if the pole might break under those temperatures cuz i kno stuff like plastic gets brittle in cold weather

Poles are fiberglass, not plastic. They don't snap more easily (to a noticable degree). Use the search button, there must be 45 different topics on this already...

i kno poles are fiber glass. i just need to kno if they will break easily in below freezing temp cuz i might be able to vault outside soon (we dont have indoor track). i tried searching it but i couldnt find an exact answer...
