Trent’s 8th Grade Pole Vault

After learning to pole vault one year ago, this is the progression of his 8th grade season, where he improved a lot.

And then theres me hardly being able to make it over 5 foot 🤣🤣

The Secret Sound -Luna Réaltra- Keep working at it! Speed, strong jump, high plan/strait top arm, hard knee drive, and a strait tail leg swing are the main points that we practice over and over. Keep it up and you’ll get there!!!!

Thanks!! I'm hoping to go to a camp somewhere this summer, I need to get better 😅😅

This is so cool. I vaulted in high-school back in the 70's. There is nothing like riding the bend and crossing the bar. Well done young man.

I will hopefully start pole vaulting this summer. You look great at doing it but it seems so hard

[@SnowKat-mn9qh]

Such great improvement from 7th to 8th grade! You’ll be doing great things in high school 💪

He needs to learn how to get inverted. When he does that. He’s gone!

I was using bamboo poles when I was pole vaulting in 1965.

[@tombryant52jumpscoach]

What size pole were you using on your 11’ vault, if you don’t mind?
