<p>My S in a senior and a pole vaulter. He has been jumping for the past 3 years in hs and is jumping 15' and improving. We are wondering of his chances for jumping in colege any good pole vaulting programs. We are in Texas.</p>
<p>Thanks for any info or ideas!</p>
<p>15 is good enough to walk on in most D1 schools.</p>
<p>These recruiting guidelines might help … [Men’s</a> Track Recruiting Guidelines](<a href=“http://www.ncsasports.org/recruiting-tools/College-Track-Recruiting/mens-track-recruiting-guidelines]Men’s”>http://www.ncsasports.org/recruiting-tools/College-Track-Recruiting/mens-track-recruiting-guidelines). FYI, I’d guess being in a specialized event like the PV would make recruiting trickier since coaches may not use a slot even if your son is great athletic match if they already have a solid vaulter … totally a guess on my part.</p>
<p>Thanks to both of you, I’ll look at the guidelines. It does seem as though pole vaulting is a very specialized sport. My S also run-in the 100 and 200 but pole vaulting is what he is mos passionate about.</p>
<p>Hi, Texassky, have you discovered the Athletic Recruits sub-forum? You might find someone who knows something about pole vaulting there.</p>
