i would deffinetly do gymnastics, i went out for gymnastics last year and aside all the work ive been doing in the vault it helped me alot going from 11'6 my sophmore year to 14' my junior year

Well I'd say the popular answer is gymnastics.... It will help you stay in much better shape for pole vault, cross country can slow your short run down. and in pole vault we only have a short run.... I don't see anyone running from 200 ft. out

idk, if you only do polevaulting, then gymnastics, but if you are doing like 4 other events... that gets you really really really tired, i guess a little extra enderace wouldnt hurt...

At our school , we don't have this problem.XC is in the fall and gym is in the winter. Anyway, I won't do either through school...I do gym for the YMCA. I've been competing for six years and just got back from nationals. My pv coach has been telling people to try a bit of gymnastics because it helps so much. I'd probably say gymnastics if you can only do one. Plus, you can always run on your own, or with a friend!
