To: State Association Track and Field Administrators
From: Becky Oakes
Subject: Pole Vault Weight Labels
Date:February 6, 2009
At the recent NFHS Track and Field Rules Interpreters Meeting, a request was made to receive contact information for pole vault manufacturers. This contact information is current at this time and will be useful to contact the manufacturers to review the company’s process and policy for replacing weight labels or obtaining a label for a pole manufactured prior to the weight label requirement.
Each manufacturer has its own process to address the replacement of weight labels. It should be noted that the manufacturers will only supply, when appropriate, replacement labels for their manufactured product and not poles from another company. Specific needs and questions should be directed to the manufacturers.
