Crazy passion: There’s more to pole vaulting than meets the eye
The Wooster Daily Record takes a look at pole vaulting:
It is one of the most entertaining events to watch in track and field, one of the most difficult to perfect and near impossible to explain. The pole vault has appealed to area athletes who are brave enough to conquer the daunting task of flying over a raised bar with the aid of a fiberglass pole. In competition, the vaulters are given three chances to clear a specific height. The bar is raised gradually until there is a winner.
“You have to be crazy to run down a runway with a stick in your hands, put that stick in a hole, fly over a bar and land on a pad,” said Orrville senior Eric Bowers.
