We see our work as building confidence through pole vault. In the winter of 2015, this was a challenge. We were still training outside and the frequent rain forced us to cancel many practices. In the month of February we only had 6 practice sessions! We started looking for a warehouse that could accommodate a pit and help our few athletes perform well at the state meet. On November 21, 2015, with the help of commercial real estate broker Vandan…
In the summer of 2021, Team USA decathlete, Harrison Williams, limped out of the Olympic Trials at the University of Oregon injured, wearing an orthopedic walking boot, in a crushing 4th place. Surgery three months later brought training to a halt. Fast forward to the 2023 USATF Outdoor Championships, and Harrison was back at Hayward Field with two things at stake: earn one of three spots on Team USA to compete in the decathlon at the World Championships, and prove…
Pole Vault Carolina athlete Antonio San Miguel represented Puerto Rico in the 15/16 Boys category of the 2023 AAU Junior Olympics. Antonio jumped a personal best of 4.25m, and placed 4th, earning All American status. When he finished competing, Antonio grabbed his Puerto Rican flag and ran to the tent where the athletes from Puerto Rico and their families were seated. He waved the flag and they celebrated his victory by singing to him! Wepa! #UAAPR #teamPuertoRico #PoleVaultCarolina #aautrackandfield

On November 21, 2015, we opened Pole Vault Carolina’s indoor facility! We had 6 athletes, 10 poles, no money, and a dream. We signed a 90-day lease to get us through the winter, a time when we usually canceled 60% of our practices due to weather. 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…
