TESTIMONIALS
FROM OUR ATHLETES & PARENTS
Real stories from BPVA athletes and parents who have experienced the coaching, culture, and results that make up Buckeye Pole Vault Academy.
"My daughter started at BPVA jumping 7'6" — a year later she set the school record at 10'9", and as a freshman cleared 12'0". The technical coaching and encouraging environment have made all the difference."
michael blevins
Parent & Track Coach
"Austin developed me from 8ft to 17ft over 6 years. The gym is equipped with training equipment unrivaled by any other club in the country. When I left for college, my D1 program had less equipment than Buckeye."
jimmy rhoades
BPVA Athlete — 8ft to 17ft
"Under Coach Hicks I jumped 16'9" by senior year and went on to vault at Ohio State. The culture at BPVA is incredible — there's a family-like atmosphere with an expectation of excellence."
