Looking to The Future

With the retirement of head coach Bill Webb, the University has decided to unite the men's and women's team under a singular director, JJ Clark. The tradition of great pole vaulting will continue at UT, as JJ has promised his full support of our long tradition. The Vols will have its top 3 vaulters returning from last year including Joe Berry, Brad Holtz and Robert Rasnick. We will also be welcoming Freshman Chase Brannon from Brentwood Academy in Tennessee. I continue to have high hopes for this crew in the future, although two key components have chosen to abdicate their place in Tennessee pole vault history and move on to other schools. We are hoping to see at least one if not three vols eclipse the 18 foot mark next year and to see us continue to pursue conference and national championships.
