Yo, vaulters: Poles available for rent at Toronto world regional meet

Spiffy medals set for Toronto WMA regionals.

A few weeks ago, word went out that USATF Masters would take reservations for poles it would ship to Toronto for the Aug. 11-13 NCCWMA world regional meet. “If we receive enough reservations, we will ship poles,” said the message to vaulters. Now the USATF and Doug “Shaggy” Smith, NCCWMA meet director, have reached an agreement to rent poles in Toronto. “When you sign the release and pay the fee ($50 USD/$63 CND) you have access to over 30 poles in 10-6, 11-6, 12-0, 13-0 and 14-0 UCS Spirit/Pacer and Gill vaulting poles,” says the new message. “Information, pole list, reservation form and payment available are available here.” Some 860 entrants as of July 21 are listed here, BTW.
