On the cover, Armondo Duplantis! After the huge jump last month, we would be crazy not to have this teenaged pole vault superstar on the cover of Vaulter Magazine. “A kid, surrounded by his idols, with not one but two nations of pole vault fans looking to see what he can do.” Soon we will see the day where Mondo set’s his limits and leads the rest of the sport down an unbeaten path. Good luck Mondo, we will be waiting to see what happens next! Good Samantha, well worth the read.

From the Liberty Bridge Jump-Off to the Diamond League Championships Kreager Taber takes on a trek to see the results and feel the action. " Katie Nageotte set a new NACAC record in the women’s pole vault, jumping 4.75 meters for the win." I know that there were plenty of street vaults, summer meets and more, but Kreager chooses to start where she did. Next time we will have to hear about all the rest.

Check us out next month when we bring another exciting issue to the sport. We have had to put forth a few detours as the jumping heads to higher limits.
