The super popular "Pole Vault Summit" competition doesn't begin until Friday night (pros),
but the festivities began on Thursday as ex-Kingsburg HS star Melissa Price (at left in left
photo, alongside Fresno State coach and vault guru Bob Fraley) was inducted into the Vault
Summit's Hall of Fame! Melissa was the true pioneer in the girls' vault, being the first
13-footer at the high school level when she turned the feat way back in 1995, when the
event was in its infancy for American female teens. At right, Mt. SAC vault coach Brian
Yokoyama and Fresno State's Fraley pose with Pole Vault Summit keynote speaker
Steve Miller, a former track coach and one-time Nike high-ranking executive who has been
among the sport's most powerful and influential figures over the years. High school vault
competition is all day on Saturday and we'll bring you the highlights, results and interviews!
