Vaulting Marine Is Aiming Higher
QUANTICO VA AP John Uelses a slender Marine Corporal with a German accent appears to have a new technique raising pole vaults toward 17 feet. He topped 16 feet last weekend and 16 feet 4 inches in Boston. He predicts higher marks in indoor meets in Philadelphia and Los Angeles and aims for 16 feet 6 inches by midsummer. Critics say fiberglass poles make vaulting an acrobatic stunt. Uelses and officials defend the equipment saying it is not new and requires practiced use.
