2010-2011 TRAINING BEGINS

The Tennessee pole vaulting squad returns 3 athletes this year and adds two new ones. Joe Berry will lead the charge as he makes his return from a red-shirt season and foot surgery. Robert Rasnick will hope to build off his strong finish to 2010 which included a trip to the NCAA finals. Chase Brannon looks to have a bright future for the Vols after learning the ropes and making some big improvements during a redshirt season. The Vols welcome Michael Maira and Tyler Porter. Porter won the 2009 & 2010 Georgia state championships, setting an all class record along the way at 16' 7.75". Maira comes to the Vols from New Jersey where he was a three time state champion. Bradley Holtz will continue to train and provide valuable leadership to the young pups. Tim Mack is also in Knoxville training hard and coaching some local vaulters.
