Bode, Bell leading Alvarado contingent to regionals

by in News--High School | Permalink

ALVARADO, Texas — Dillon Bell and Claudia Bode are two of the Alvarado Indians heading to the regional track meet in Lubbock on Friday and Saturday and both, according to Head Coach Melinda Malone, have chances to go far.
Bell won a silver medal at the state meet last year in the pole vault and has already cleared 17 feet, 2 3/4 inches at the Texas Relays earlier this year.
His mark of 16 feet at the District 8-3A meet was four feet better than his nearest competitor.
“Right now, that mark at the Texas Relays is a foot and three inches higher than anyone else in the state in Class 3A,” Bell said. “I think I’m definitely ready to go from regionals to state.”
Malone said it’s been something to see Bell advance to where he is from his freshman year.
“He’s been vaulting since the seventh grade,” she said. “We’ve seen him go from clearing 11 and 12 feet as a freshman to this. Last year, he really came into himself and he is focused on a gold medal in Austin. He wants to win it.
“If things go well for him, he’s going to try and go for the record at the state meet.” Continue reading →

Desert Vista turns out vaulters

by in Arizona | Permalink

Desert Vista pole vaultersPhoenix, Az. –Some call it a clique and the extremely jealous even go as far as calling it a cult.And those being singled out don’t seem to mind one bit.“You have to be fast and a little bit crazy,” Desert Vista senior pole vaulter Matt Arsenau said. “If you are willing to try and willing to completely trust the coach you are going to be successful.“When you think about it you are running as fast as you can with a pole and you are about to go as high as you can in the air. Everyone has seen some people fall off onto the runway and hurt themselves. You have to overcome that and just go for it. It takes a lot of nerve at first but after awhile it is just what we do. It’s kind of like a club.”At most schools, the pole vaulters on track teams do their own thing throughout the week and at meets they sequester themselves as the pole vaulters from each school come together in a group as they put up tents around the runway.“There might as well be a hibachi (grill) there,” Desert Vista pole vault coach Jeff Guy said.At Desert Vista the pole vaulters start each practice at their own little space under the stadium bleachers and Guy puts them through event specific warm up drill using bands Continue reading →
