1st place 8th grade 12’ pole vault

[@Marshall.PR.13ft]

love the jump, I find if weird that you collapse your bottom arm a lot of the plant which makes swinging a lot harder. But you still do real good

[@ericccrose]

Never realized you commented 😂 but yeah my plant was terrible but it’s gotten better, thanks tho!

[@ValorousCart]

My school record is 15,6ft for middle school hasn’t been broken since 2015

[@ericccrose]

[@ValorousCart]

@@ericccroseyeah everyone from 2015 at my school has insane records. Last Wednesday was my first meet for pole vaulting and I got 2nd best with 6,6 I’m gonna try and get 7 or a little higher at Tuesdays meet though

[@ValorousCart]

[@JOHN-1300]

I don't do pole valt because we don't have it at our school so I do the closest thing high jump I do wish we have pole valt it looks fun

[@ericccrose]

Yes it’s very fun but I train daily so it’s very hard, high jump is also fun

[@hamburgler1811]

what size pole?

[@JacobFulkerson-kk8ls]

I do 8th grade pole vault too and at my last meet i got 11’1

[@ericccrose]

Nice

[@Harib_allsack1224]

Very impressive dude congratulations

[@ericccrose]

thank you dude, much appreciated :D

[@user-ii3jl1zz7v]

I’m the second attempt at 11 ,6 you pushed more out instead of up

[@aggball2010]

A bit of (hopefully helping criticism)… don’t let your boy start out so low. If he can jump 11’0 on every day….. don’t let him come in at 8’6. My coach told me, “you have 3 good jumps in you every day. That’s before running track, training technique. If this young man can jump 11”0 every day. But only gets to 12”6 (hypothetical) on his best day… I would let him start at 11. Maybe 10”6 depending on how strong he is at hitting 11. 3 try’s for someone who hits 11 in practice every day is gonna be a standard. I know we polevaulters aren’t running a lot. But when we hit the box, we use every muscle we can to extend. I didn’t have the money for the poles I needed to shoot me. But I was good enough to overcome that in some aspects. Good luck young man!

[@ericccrose]

I really appreciate the advice!! I am actually the vaulter in the video 😆😆I am now a freshman and usually come in 1 /12 to 1ft below my pr, i am now jumping 14' 6" and really really close to 15', but seriously thank you for your input it is always nice to hear

[@Jumpers_Zone]

Niceee brooo u can go further

[@mr.a.k.a925]

What ft is the pole?

[@ericccrose]

this was when i was bad but it was a 13' 150 or maybe 160 not sure

[@elijahmitchell8135]

I couldn’t help but notice that it seems like you’re slowing down in the second half of your run(or at least it seems like it) maybe move in a few ft. Great jumps though

[@Donotvape]

I’m a girl in 8th grade, pr is 10’

[@ericccrose]

thats really good, keep grinding and im sure you could get 12 next year

[@Donotvape]

@@ericccrose I’m training all of my off season and going to camps this summer. I have a little advantage since my dad was a college vaulter and coaches part time. If I can just get my invert better then I’ll be jumping 2 feet higher lol

[@omarquezada6352]

What are your standards?

[@MichelleMetz-xx1ui]

Nice job but that looks like 8ft not 12 I do pole vault to

[@ericccrose]

Well I cleared 12-1, 12-7, 12-8, all at different meets so I don’t think the standards were 4 feet off at 3 different meets
