The Quarantined Vaulter: Journey to Personal Success

In accordance with Governor Herbert's address on 3/27/2020, we are closing our doors. All practices at the club facility are cancelled until further notice so we can continue to put the health and safety of our athletes first.

However, we know our athletes love pole vaulting. We love it too and want the best for our athletes. We still want to provide what resources we can to benefit the physical and mental training of our athletes at home.

We might not be able to meet together at the club, but that does not mean you have to stop training. Success comes to those who remain dedicated to their passions and learn to adapt. 

This page is dedicated to our athletes who will never stop working hard to be the best they can possibly be. Whether you're sick, injured, out of town, or the whole world is on quarantine due to a global pandemic, you can find the resources you need to get some training in at home.
