Free take-off

Senior Jillian Katterhagen clears 10' (3.05m)


Freshman Kara Zuspan clears 9' 6" (2.90m)

Plant.
The purpose of the plant is to put a pole with minimum energy loses in the position at the take-off where a vaulter will not experience pole resistance during the take-off.

“Free Take off”.
Take-off during witch the vaulter does not experience pole resistance is a free take-off.

“Free Pole Drop”.
“Free Pole Drop” serves two purposes. It eliminates pole gravity resistance on a vaulters body during the run-up allowing speed maximization and allows the bottom of the pole to descend into the box at the time for completion of the “free take-off”.
