HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, POLE VAULT CAROLINA!

On November 21, 2015, we opened Pole Vault Carolina’s indoor facility! We had 6 athletes, 10 poles, no money, and a dream.

Seven years later, we are home to 33 state champions, and 72 national qualifiers. We have coached 40 athletes into collegiate athletics, and numerous vaulters to personal success.  We showcase their success, and that of…

Happy Indoor Anniversary to Us!

It was exactly 6 years ago that we signed the lease for our indoor facility. We had been renting the track at a local high school, and for a time, jumping in our side yard!  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…

Coach Wilbourn started videoing his jumps and at the end of practice offered him a spot on the team. Success is where opportunity…
