Scott Houston of Northwest Guilford is one of the top pole vaulters in the US. He is currently ranked #2 nationally with his vault of 16-10. This mark was almost a foot better than his previous best, and it broke the old state record by 8 inches.
Scott's improvement has been noticed by many in the pole vaulting community. Recently, Shannon Pope, the former NC record holder contacted me because he wanted to congratulate Scott.
Mike Byrnes of the National Scholastic Sports Federation has just written an article which is now posted on NationalScholastic.org. Check it out, as Scott is now making a name for pole vaulting in NC.
