There is No Team in I

*Originally published in Makes & Misses department of TAKEOFF Magazine, December 2021 By Jose R. San Miguel Most athletes who come through our doors become members of two teams: school and club. Many of their schools lack an experienced pole vault coach, poles, and landing systems that are in compliance with NFHS standards. Pole vault clubs fill this gap by providing all three. Each athlete has their own reason to endure the ups and down of pole vaulting, the intense training…

We only intended to have the space through the cold and rainy indoor season, but athletes kept showing up for practice. The ability to train independent of the weather meant that our vaulters benefitted from consistent practices and later that season, performed at the highest…

We couldn’t be happier for Jonathan Horn and his commitment to Duke University! ⁠⁠Jonathan committed to improve the summer before his junior year; then he became unstoppable. Duke was not on his college radar as he didn’t think he was good enough. When the coach from Duke visited the club last month, Jon vaulted his heart out. Coach Wilbourn started videoing his jumps and at the end of practice offered him a spot on the team. Success is where opportunity…
