We have gone to the Reno Pole Vault Summit over 10 different years. During other years we have taken indoor trips to Northern Arizona University. We are a part of a larger team and contributing to the overall success, but we make special weekends to bring the pole vaulters together.” “In this sport, where a pole vault competition can last over 4 hours, you need a tight, close team. The camaraderie and support you gather is contagious. Our teammates thrive off each other and their
success is infectious bringing more success to others.”
This university team at SDSU is a wonderful program to be a part of. For those dreaming of joining, here is what Coach Fox says about what vaulters must have to be considered for the Aztec pole vauting team:
“They must perform well at championship competitions. We can develop athletes physically, improve their technique and make them stronger, faster and better. But the area I find that comes from within is the
great competitors know how to compete coming out of high school. They have the ability to rise to the occasion and compete well under pressure at big meets.” It will be worthwhile for pole vault competitors and fans to keep an eye on SDSU this year. Coach Fox and his team are doing a wonderful job and should surely have continued success. http://goaztecs.cstv.com/ sports/w-track/sdsu-w-trackbody.html
