Minnesota State High School Pole Vault Records

This is what I have so far based on what is posed on MSHSL.org and RaceberryJam.com

Let me know if you see any errors or people missing.

I am pretty confident about the girls as all the data is on RaceberryJam.com since the event started.

Since the national 8th grade record by Tommy Skipper of 15-6 is one inch lower than our state record I would completely agree with you.

As far as the girls go, we are doing well with a few over 12 and two over 13.

I was talking with Steve recently and we were trying to come up with ideas why we haven't had a 16' guy yet.  I would love to hear everyone's opinions.  We've had plenty of kids go 16+ post HS.

[Chris]

Updated with 2008 statistics.

Anyone have any ideas as to who we don't have any HS boys go over 16' in HS?  I am thinking it is because kids don't seem to train and focus on the vault year round.

For example, kids like Spandl and Gierut went 16+ pretty quickly once they got to college and focused on it year round.
