2022 Vaultarama Series
We are pleased to announce that our 2022 Vaultarama series is ON! Come ready to vault, listen to some music, and have a great time with the New England vaulting community :-)
What exactly is a Vaultarama?
A Vaultarama is a low-key pole vault only meet and is open to any and all pole vaulters of any age or skill level. We will have a sound system blasting awesome playlists and will have video recording devices available for reviewing of vaults during the competition.
When and where are the Vaultaramas taking place?
There will be at least 6 meets in the Vaultarama Series this year.
Saturday July 2nd @ Westborough High School (rain date Sunday July 3rd)
Sunday July 17th @ Westborough High School
Saturday July 23rd @ Minnechaug Regional High School
Saturday August 6th @ Minnechaug Regional High School
Saturday August 13th @ Weston High School (as part of the Bounce Squad Jump Empire meet)
Saturday August 20th @ TBD (Tentatively Westborough High School)
Saturday August 27th @ TBD (Tentatively Westborough High School)
More Vaultarama meets may be added in September if there is enough interest :-)
What is the format, what time does it start and what do I need to do to participate?
Each Vaultarama will have a slightly different format and time schedule but for the most part there will be 2 flights depending upon athlete’s starting heights.
For the first Vaultarama at Westborough High School flight #1 will be for athletes planning on starting lower than 10′ and will start as low as needed to accommodate everyone. Warmups for flight #1 will start at 12:00pm with the competition beginning at 1:00 sharp.
Flight #2 is for athletes planning on starting at 10′ or higher. Warmups for flight #2 will begin immediately after the conclusion of flight #1 with the competition starting NO EARLIER than 4:00
The format and times for future Vaultaramas will be posted at a later date.
You will need to have proof of a current USATF membership in order to compete.
While pre-registration is not absolutely necessary we would greatly appreciate it if you would so we can get a semi-accurate head count and plan accordingly. In addition if you register ahead of time the entry fee is $10 instead of $20.
We will send out registration links for future Vaultramas to this email list as well as posting them to our website calendar.
How much does it cost?
If you pre-register for the meet on Constant Contact (links below and on our front page) the cost is $10. If you enter at the competition the cost is $20.
Do you need any help running the meet?
HECK YES! HECK YES! HECK YES! HECK YES!
We need dedicated volunteers to run the meet – if we do not have volunteers there is no way these meets can run efficiently. We will need 4 volunteers for each flight – 1 to work each standard and 2 to take care of putting the bar up. You will be needed for the entire time the flight is happening. If you are interested in volunteering please let the meet directors (listed below) know – they’ll sweeten the pot with free Patriot PV gear and free athlete registrations and stuff like that :-)
Anything else you might have left out?
We have a large selection of poles available at each facility for use by all athletes. If you have a specific pole in mind that you need please let us know and we will do our best to make sure it is available to you.
We will have some Patriot Pole Vault Club gear (t-shirts, uniforms, hoodies and perhaps some other goodies) available for purchase
