I was told today that the NCAA will not accept marks unless it is a complete
track meet ( at least 12 events, I think) and in the past they have granted
the summit a waiver but voted not to this year. Most coaches didn't know
about this until it was too late. The PV summit is one of the best
Didn't Blinn have a majority of foreign athletes on its track teams?

Of all the suggested changes I like the coaching clinics and providing the
coaches an area to coach from the best. You need to teach coaches about
safety and then allow them to coach during the event. Rules about pole size
and pole grip are no good at all because every athlete is different plus

I hate to get into this so soon after a young man's death but instead of
talk of banning the pole vault lets try to make it as safe as possible.
This brings on discussion of helmets, pit size, pole weight/body weight
rules and coaches certification but first make sure everyone uses a rule we
the programs
support more than anything.

The PR
Gender equity is a problem, but we have to look at why they continue to cut
track programs instead of other sports. We must continue to do a bettor job
promoting our sport. We must get more kids involved, increase public
awareness, get all the positive PR for our sport we can find. I wish I
I agree that coaching is part of safety but at all levels not just high
school. I'm a high school coach who just got back from watching the SEC meet
where I saw a young lady almost got out the back of the pit on a pole that
was way to small and her coach told her to move the standards back to 70
Actually I believe her coach's name is Chris Grimes.

Some people will be glad to eliminate the vault
for any reason. The pits are allready expensive and having enough poles for
everyone to jump on (within the wieght rules) also costs too much but I think
the event will survive in most states. Right now the pole vault has to

I think you are exactly right. We have so few big track meets on American
soil and if the trials didn't count like they do now, they would become just
another meet. There is probably not a system that would please everybody.
