Meets / Brit's Pub Vault

Last post by Brandon - July 18, 2014, 08:04:15 PM

The Twin Cities Track Club is hosting a Pole Vault competition on the rooftop of Minneapolis' own Brit's Pub. On August 30, vaulters from around the country will be invited to show off in front of the Minneapolis skyline. We are accepting vaulters of all heights, but there is a cap on the number of entries. So register fast and secure your spot in the inaugural Brit's Pub Vault. Then following the completion of the open division stick around and watch a one of a kind event where some of Americas best Vaulters will be putting on a show.

Keep checking in on the Facebook page where more information regarding entries, t-shirts, schedules, and much more will be coming soon!

General Pole Vault Discussion / Indoor Vault Opportunity At Ar...

Last post by Brandon - March 20, 2014, 02:10:11 AM

Attention Minnesota pole vault coaches:

Considering the extreme weather so far this spring, I know that many programs have yet to have an opportunity to vault this year. I'm excited to announce that Armstrong High School in Plymouth is looking to open its indoor facility for practice the next two Saturdays (3/22 & 3/29). We're planning on the runway being available from 2:00-4:00 PM and if there's enough interest, we'll open up a second session from 4:00-6:00. If you're interested, please email me for details at brandon@flightdeckathletics.com.
