Pole Vaulting

Sport

Track and field's most physics-dependent event. Current PR: 10'6", set at the Shoreline Invitational.

  • Track & Field

Pole vaulting is the most physics-dependent thing in track and field: you convert sprint speed into stored energy in a bending pole, then trade it all for height. Get the timing wrong and the pole just… gives it back.

My current PR is 10’6“, set at the Shoreline Invitational. Both PR jumps are below, or will be once the footage is up.
