First and Last Jumps show our vaulters, alphabetically by last name. Not every vaulter is on these pages. To be included vaulters had to meet one of the following 6 criteria:
PR: 7' for girls, 9'3" for boys
2. Number of years vaulted: 2 for both genders
3. Number of meets attended: 6 for girls, 5 for boys
4. Improvement in performance 1'6" for girls, 1'3.3" for boys
5. Average number of meets attended per year: 4.75 for girls and 3.25 for boys.
6. I have a video from the first and last year the vaulter jumped.
Incidentally, criteria 1 - 5 are medians calculated from every vaulter who ever practiced with us, including those never attending a meet nor ever jumping to a bar. A total of 101 girls and 81 boys made the cut based on these first 5 criteria.
With respect to criterion 6, I would like first jump to be the first jump ever, and the last jump to be the vaulter's final PR. If you have a video meeting this criterion for someone please send it my way. Thanks and enjoy! You should be able to learn a lot by watching these.
