Pole Vault Summit saw attempts at masters records
Results aren’t up, but this note on a polevaultpower.com message board bespoke of some M45/M50 record attempts at the annual Pole Vault Summit this weekend in Reno, Nevada: “Both Paul Babits and Gary Hunter jumped great and attempted new age group indoor records but were not successful. At 11:19 pm (this pit was considerably behind schedule) I took my last jump attempting my age group record but was also unsuccessful. The place was all but closed down. The runways and pits on each side were already half torn down. Thanks to vaultmd, a metal tape was retrieved and 3 officials were found for possible certification. But alas, to no avail.”
The anonymous poster continued:
“Also thanks to the other two remaining competitors who had to wait for this before they could also attempt the 3.92 ( height. For Group 2 Masters men (competition # 60 , on pit 3), three of us jumped 3.80m but apparently I came out ahead on the “misses” tie-breaker rules.”
