2nd Annual Campfire/Cookout/Movie and Vaultarama #4

campfire

Join Patriot Pole Vault Club on August 23rd for a fun-filled day. Starting at 3pm (2pm warmups) we'll be hosting the last of our summer Vaultarama Series at Westborough High School. Following the competition sometime around 6 or 7pm, drive on over to Coach Ingrid's in Shrewsbury for a cookout and campfire event. We'll make smores, shoot some hoops, and eat some tasty food as we enjoy one of the last days of summer. Say goodbye to our scholar-athletes as they head off to college this Fall and wish a "Happy Birthday"" to a few of our club vaulters! Feel free to invite friends and family to come along. Email Coach Ingrid if you would like to bring something such as snacks, desserts, chips, plates, napkins, soda/juice, etc. See you at the vaulting and fire pits on the 23rd.

2009 National Pole Vault Summit - Reno, NV

Imagine 2,000 vaulters, coaches and fans gathered for a weekend of non-stop pole vaulting. The annual National Pole Vault Summit is held in Reno, NV to "promote safety and encourage development of pole vaulting at all ability levels." Patriot Pole Vault Club would like to extend an invitation to all club and New England area pole vaulters to join us this year to mingle with the country's best coaches and vaulters. Visit our informational page to learn more about the National Pole Vault Summit. It is very important that high school student-athletes check with their indoor competition schedules before making arrangements for the summit. See our informational page for more details. Hope to see you all in Reno!
