A little note for the public:
Purdue Pole Vaulters represent what is good about intercollegiate
athletics - enjoyable experience, good & loyal teammates, a
place to grow as a person & a vaulter. It is an experience
that brings with it high expectations and great rewards. A
place where consistency and "commaradore" are the norm.
