POLE VAULT …IF WE ONLY HAVE ONE PIT OPERATING ANY NIGHT…
The state qualifying standards for 2013 are 9’ 09” for women and 13’ 00” for men.
Women will vault first.  Women / men will vault simultaneously once we reach the men’s starting height of 9’ 00”. 
Starting Height for women will be 6’ 00”.  First 3 raises will be 12 inch increments to 7’ 00” / 8’ 00” / 9’ 00”.
The fourth raise will be 9 inches to 9”09” which is the state qualifying standard.
The fifth raise will be 9 inches to 10’ 06” and all subsequent raises will be 6 inches for women.
Men will be worked in with the women beginning at 9’00”.
The first four raises for men will be 12 inch increments also.  10’ 00” / 11’ 00” / 12’ 00” / 13’ 00”.
(Men will not be allowed to jump at girls heights of 9’ 09” or 10’ 06” or any other 6 inch raises women compete at)
(Women will not be allowed to jump at men’s height of 10’ 00”)
All subsequent raises for men after 13’ 00” will be 6 inch increments as long as time allows.
ALSO – The vault takes priority over all other events.  If you check out and the bar goes up you will not be allowed 
to vault at the lower height.  If you check out – check out carefully and pay attention to the raises!
WARMUPS FOR BOTH GENDERS WILL BE ONLY FROM 6:00 – 6:45.  VAULT STARTS AT 6:45.
Vault will end as we approach the witching hour of 11:00 regardless of whether or not we are done.
