Vaultapalooza is a yearly pole vaulting event run by Mike Auble for club members of the Pole Vault Plant.

The club has about 40 members and they work out and train in Mike's backyard. Don't be fooled by the backyard stuff, his pole vaulting "facility" is one of the best I've seen anywhere. He also has workout equipment in his garage (like a small gym).

I'd guess 30-40 vaulters (boys/girls) participated including his daughter, Karmen Auble. Some of section V and VI best were on hand. College vaulters were also there. A large crowd relaxed and watched pole vaulting for hours in a picnic like setting.

Good work by all. It was a beautiful day..
