The ability to train independent of the weather meant that our vaulters benefitted from consistent practices and later that season, performed at the highest…

Short distance runs focus on bursts and quickness out of the gate; longer distances require more patience and focus on controlling speed and energy over a longer period of time. The top pole vaulters, be they in high school, college, or professional,  DO…

Pole Vault Carolina Seniors: Carter Mathis
