Best Vault Crew: Week Three

If you’ve followed me for the past two weeks or so, you know the drill. In past years, I’ve highlighted only the distance kids, this year I’m spreading the love far and wide. The avenue is through finding the best crews, whether that be jumps, distance, vault, sprints, throws, or hurdles.

In other areas, I’ve combined events to form a CREW. But to me, the vaulters don’t fit into any one category. They deserve their own special recognition. The event requires speed getting down the runway, strength carrying the pole, and most importantly – fearlessness. Without further ado, the best VAULT CREWS thus far:

How does one get on these lists? The best three vaulters from each team in the 2022 outdoor season have their best marks averaged out. The teams are then ranked by their averages (with ties going to the team with the better 3rd vaulter, 2nd vaulter, etc.). A great individual can carry a team, but the squads with the best depth will tend to be ranked higher.

These are from meets that were uploaded by the time I got home from work last night (9 – 10pm, idk).
