Camps / Open Pit Sundays at UMN
March 05, 2013, 08:13:23 PM
It's snowing!  A sure sign that track season is here, if ever there was one.

We have completed our first indoor season at the University of Minnesota.  It was a good first draft and we're excited to improve upon the original next year.  

BUT, we're always looking for ways to keep vaulters vaulting high, and the weather looks rough, so Flight Deck is going to offer 2 additional Sunday opportunities to vault indoors at UMN.  Open pit. Come one, come all.

The details:
1. Sunday March 17th and 24th, 1-3pm
2. Bring your OWN poles (ours are being rented out for the season)
3. Bring your coach if you can
4. Bring your USATF membership card
5  $40 cash or check (each practice)
6. We will provide one Flight Deck coach to oversee the practices (Michelle Legatt), but it won't be as formal as camp instruction depending on the number of athletes attending


Hopefully this will help bridge the gap to more pole vault friendly weather.

Camps / Our first Instructional Video is released!
February 06, 2013, 02:40:47 AM
Just what you were hoping for...now you can listen to the White's coaching in the comfort of your own home any time you want.  Seriously, we hope you all find it useful.   It did turn out well.  Thanks to Alicia Rue, Samantha Sonnenberg, and Steve White for helping me put this together.

Camps / Shawn Francis jumps 5.51m
February 06, 2013, 02:32:55 AM
Congratulations to former NDSU great Shawn Francis on returning to his alma mater to post a new personal best of 5.51m.  This is the highest clear in North Dakota history.

Now to take down the top spot in Minnesota history. 

We have a feeling it won't be long.

Way to go Shawn!

News / It's a boy for the Milton's!
August 18, 2009, 03:23:41 AM
Chris and Katie Milton welcomed Jack Christopher early this morning.

21.5"

8 lbs 3 oz

He sure looks like his daddy!  I'm sure the proud papa will post a picture soon for you all to see.  Both mom and baby are doing well.

What an amazing meet.  Michigan was favored to win, but the Gophers really battled today.  It was something to see!

There are still a few tickets remaining for the Women's Big 10 Championships at the University of Minnesota Fieldhouse this weekend.  UMN only hosts once every 10 years.  The pole vault goes off at 2pm on Saturday.  There are 10 entrants seeded at 13' or higher so it should be an exciting competition.

You can purchase tickets at www.gophersports.com or at the door.

Congratulations to Laura on her lifetime best & NCAA provisionally qualifying height of 3.97m this past weekend!

Hats off to Jamie Steffen who put on a great event this weekend that really showed off our sport.  Everything went smoothly thanks to his hard work and planning and all the people who helped (Paul, Chris, Andrea, Laura, etc.).
It didn't hurt to have such high caliber performances as well (Alicia, Jackie, Dan, and Sam).  Pretty impressive vaulting all around.   A fun day!  I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next year.

General Pole Vault Discussion / Holiday Party Friday 29th
December 27, 2006, 06:03:12 PM
Hey everyone!

Based on responses we're going with Friday the 29th beginning at 6:30-7:00ish for the get together...our apologies to Michelle (we'll probably still be here after the concert).

We will provide meatballs, chips and salsa, and poker chips.  We have quite a few treats around too.  Please bring something small to share (appetizer type thing) and beverages of your choice.

If anyone has a fun activity/game besides poker feel free to bring that along as well.

See you then!

General Pole Vault Discussion / Happy B-day to Steve
April 03, 2006, 06:44:29 PM
Steve's birthday is Tuesday this week.  We're getting together at Punch Pizza in Calhoun Village tonight (4/3) at 6:30 if you're free.  Sorry for the short notice.  Nothing fancy...just beer and 'za - Steve's favorite![:D]
