House implements for rent? Poles will cost $15 a day at worlds

In response to an athleteā€™s question, I got this reply from LOC official Bob Burns about house implements at Sacramento worlds in July: ā€œWhen we post the entrantsā€™ manual online in May, it will go into greater detail, but hereā€™s the situation with implements: At least three implements of each type of weight for an event will be available at no cost to competitors.Ā  The cost of these house implements is about $9000 for the meet.Ā  Generally one implement will be available at American River College, the practice track,Ā for practice at no cost. The exception will be days when an age group is using the implementĀ for competition. The only rental charges will be for pole vault poles because we have to rent them ourselves.Ā  The charge will be $15 for the day of the competition.ā€ Bob also shares the latest newsletter on worlds. It talks about the athletes party, lodging and online entry. So far, about 900 have signed up.
