2011:

2011 MIT PROM VAULT

- the greatest competition ever created -

Sat., August 20th, 2011, 5pm (4pm Registration and Warmups)

www.mitpromvault.com preregister here

Please come at 4:00pm to start registering, modifying your clothing for maximum vaulting comfort, and warming up. 5pm will be the meet. Look below for new announcements.

Please visit the website above for all the details and some great videos. Here are the basics. MIT Pole Vault Club is hosting another prom vault. So once again, get your dress clothes on, grab a date, and head on over. This event will probably be the greatest thing that has ever happened. EVER. The last one was good. But man, this is going to be great. $20 for students. $25 for open division.

We REALLY want to do it outside and at night, we are going to opt for a evening vault (there are HUGE lights for when the sun finally goes down), and we will have a rain location of the indoor track. So the competition is on rain or shine.

Note: If you are planning to come, please go here here to preregister. Doing so will make planning the event much easier on us.

Addition: We have a few awesome announcements:

1) MIT Prom Vault is being sponsored by MF Athletic! Each member of the first, second, and third place couples will receive prizes. Visit them by clicking here or on their logo. Many thanks to MF Athletic.

First: Each person receives $25 MF gift certificate and MF Athletic T-Shirt

Second: Each person receives $15 MF gift certificate and MF Athletic T-Shirt

Third: Each person receives $10 MF gift certificate and MF Athletic T-Shirt

2) We will have a live DJ to play while we are jumping. We'll also set up a dance floor for you to show off your steps between jumps.

3) We will have a station set up to take prom pictures of you and your date. Make sure you wear something nice and tidy up your hair. Your parents will want a lot of copies of these photographs.

4) We will have some light refreshments for you to hydrate and then dehydrate yourself.

2009:

Ready to test out your vault skills? Ready to see all the hard work pay off? MIT Pole Vault Club has three meets in August to help out.

NOTE: No pre-registration for the meets is required. However, letting us know that you plan to come would help us out so we can better plan for the event. If you plan to attend a meet, please shoot a quick email to <barragan at mit dot edu>.

A quick planning-to-attend email is especially helpful if you plan to come to the prom vault. First, we are organizing some things around the number of entries. Second, we would like to make sure everyone has a date. If you plan to attend the Prom Vault, please email <entries at MITpromvault dot com>.

All meets are USATF sanctioned. For insurance reasons, USATF membership is required. Membership can be obtained here. All participants must sign liability waivers which will be available at the meet or here: Registration Form and Supplemental Form. If you have already filled out a form at one of our meets, you can simply resign it at the meet instead of filling out a new one.

The meets will be held at the MIT outdoor track. Directions can be found here.

Meet 1 (Saturday, August 8th, 12pm):

First of two smaller meets leading up to the 2009 MIT Prom Vault. Everyone is welcome. We will be starting warm ups on the pit at 11:30am. Jumping will start at 12pm. $10 for MITPVC club members. $15 for non-club members. (Rain location: MIT indoor track)

Meet 2 (Saturday, August 22nd, 1pm):

Second of two smaller meets leading up to the 2009 MIT Prom Vault. Everyone is welcome. We will be starting warm ups on the pit between 12:00pm and 12:30pm. Jumping will start at 1pm. $10 for MITPVC club members. $15 for non-club members. (No rain location, sorry)

ADDITION: USATF New England that we host this meet as a club-scored meet. We will score men's and women's separately and combined. For each gender, we will add the heights of the top two vaulters from each club and then compare the sums. We will also compare both genders combined for each club. There will be some refreshments and awards and possibly videotaping.

NOTE: If you do not have a club to compete for, you can still compete as a regular competitor. Your heights will still be recorded and reported in the results. However, you will not receive a place in the club scoring. Everyone is still welcome to come and compete.
