The only time we're on a track is when we run. We lose points in the pole vault. Ringgold offered their track to us and we just put in a jumping pit over the weekend.

Ali is so taken by the pole vault that I had to go get her for the hurdles.

My first 18-foot pole vault wasn't any more of a thrill than my first clearance at 15 or 16 or 17 foot. I just had more time to enjoy it on the way down.

should award points for pole positions.

When I tell people I'm going to the Olympics, they're like: 'What do you do, track and field? Pole vault? Are you a volleyball player?' No one ever guesses tae kwon do.

A pole here at Bristol is awesome. That's what you need here where track position is everything.
