Do all Maryland High School Teams Pole Vault?
2003 was a very sad year for our sport. Several athletes including a very good athlete at Penn State University were killed while vaulting. In response to this, the MD High School Athletic Association developed strict guidelines for the event – including who can coach it and the mats that are utilized in protecting the athletes. Some schools do not have the mats or coaches approved for the event. These schools are not permitted to participate in the event.
