Every North American vault fan would know that the indoor season
doesn't really start in earnest until the National Pole Vault Summit in
Reno, on January 19-20. Just to whet your appetite, though, here are
the men's and women's indoor records as I had them at the end of the
2006 season. I have a little more confidence in my women's list than
the men's list, but additions and corrections to either will be much
appreciated.
Happy new year to all: especially all vaulters!
