[polevaultpower]

From my website.

Kortney Ross, Junior, Westview High School, San Diego

Meet: Escondido Invite- Friday May 1, 2009

Bar progression and pole in video: 11'4 (14' 160lb), 11'10 (14'165lb), 12'5 (14'6 160lb), 13'0 (14'6 165lb)

She is holding at about 13'6 ish.


There is still a lot of technique work to be done, but "a make is a make" as they say. Just wait till she takes off right and gets all the way upsidedown. Next year is going to be very exciting.

Yesterday- 13'-0

100m 12.43

That's a deadly combo for the PVer! 8-)

You can teach technique, but speed and height - not really.
