Joe Johnston shows off his Pole Vaulter Paradise: the Joe Dome
Hands down, this is the best single-athlete masters track video of all time! M65 world champ and record-setter Joe Johnston opened his “Joe Dome” in central Florida to Marc Middleton, founder and CEO of The (Growing) Bolder Media Group. See it here. Marc writes that he’s also Joe’s hurdle training partner and that he’s targeting 2012 masters indoor nationals in Bloomington, Indiana, as his first masters meet. Go, Marc! And thanks for this incredible display of masters ingenuity and determination.
Joe gives tour of his training facility, which tops a 52-year vaulting career.

Great video! Joe, you’re an inspiration to all us M65ers. But you forgot to mention that you’re a heck of a high jumper too.
