Cameron K. | Pole Vault
Your 12′1″ clearance reflects strong approach speed and a repeatable early runway rhythm. Your next improvement lies in the final four steps, plant timing and completing inversion earlier so your hips clear the bar cleanly.
Your Four Performance Results
Your recorded clearance, immediate mechanical opportunity, development range and lifetime jumping target.
Your biggest opportunity is plant-to-inversion timing
Your speed is sufficient for higher vaults. At 12′6″, your final approach steps tighten, takeoff moves closer to the box, your plant starts later and your hips arrive later in the inversion. The combination reduces the clearance window you already have the speed to create.
Bar Progression & Attempt History
Your successful jumps were controlled through 12′1″; at 12′6″ the primary limit shifted to hip and thigh clearance.
| Bar height | Metric | Attempt 1 | Attempt 2 | Attempt 3 | Clearance observation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11′6″ | 3.51 m | O | — | — | Clean turn and stable pole tip. |
| 11′10″ | 3.61 m | O | — | — | Smooth plant and recoil through clearance. |
| 12′1″ | 3.68 m | X | O | — | Cleared on attempt two; hips +3.6 cm, heels +1.4 cm. |
| 12′6″ | 3.81 m | X | X | X | Hip and upper-thigh contact across three attempts. |

Your 16-Step Approach
Runway speed at key points
Speed peaks at 18.2 mph. You carry 17.6 mph into the successful plant, compared with 17.1 mph on the missed vault.
Last-eight-step comparison
Steps 9–12 remain stable; the missed jump progressively shortens steps 13–16.

Pole-Tip Path & Plant Timing
Pole-tip stability through the plant
Your successful carry stays steadier as you enter the plant. On the missed vault, movement increases during the final four steps and the plant arrives 0.04 seconds later.
Make versus miss · carry and plant
Earlier pole rise, cleaner plant
Raise the pole more smoothly before the final steps so your takeoff is not forced to compensate for a late plant. The timing target is no more than 0.01 seconds of plant delay.
Takeoff Position Relative to the Box
Takeoff placement · top view
Your cleared takeoff occurs 8′6″ from the box. At 12′6″, you take off 7′10″ from the box—eight inches closer.
Takeoff position and angle
Protect your takeoff distance
Keep your approach step lengths consistent into the plant. Your primary location target is 8′4″–8′8″ from the box, rather than drifting under when the bar increases.
Swing, Inversion, Turn & Clearance
Over-the-bar path
The 12′1″ vault clears with positive margins. At 12′6″, your hips and upper thighs contact the bar while your heels remain clear.

Impact & Effort Forces
How your body applies useful effort and handles the demands of ground contact.
Effort transfer through the vault
Your energy conversion index is 64% on the cleared vault and 59% on the missed vault. The drop accompanies lower plant speed, a closer takeoff point and delayed inversion.
Improvement priority: maintain plant speed, arrive at a consistent takeoff position and complete inversion earlier to convert more of your approach into height.
Impact and plant control
The critical contact is your left-foot takeoff as the pole enters the box. In the missed vault, the closer takeoff and late plant change how force is absorbed and redirected.
Better approach rhythm and plant position can improve force transfer without relying on greater runway speed alone.

Motion DNA™ Signature
Your vault movement signature
Your speed and early approach rhythm are consistent strengths. Your movement pattern shows how step tightening, plant timing and delayed inversion affect your clearance as the bar rises.
What Closes the Gap
The physical and mechanical changes that can improve your result.
01 · Final approach stability
Develop hip stability and sprint rhythm to maintain the last four steps and protect the correct takeoff distance.
02 · Plant and shoulder coordination
Improve shoulder, trunk and pole-carry timing to start the plant earlier and reduce late pole-tip motion.
03 · Swing and inversion
Strengthen anterior trunk, hip flexors and posterior-chain coordination so the hips rise above the shoulders before recoil and bar clearance.
Performance Development Plan
Your next performance targets and priorities for the next assessment.
Your next height is a technical opportunity
Your 12′1″ clearance establishes your ability to combine strong approach speed with a successful turn and bar clearance. The next step is to bring that same speed into a more consistent plant and earlier inversion, so your hips clear higher bars with more room to complete the vault.
