Steve Johnson, who has served as ONU's pole vault coach for the past three years, said the event raised about $1,500 for athletic equipment.

The pole vaulters competed outside next to King-Horn Center on a day when Ada temperatures reached 90 degrees.  The vaulters included high school boys and girls, collegiate, and men and women open.

Among them was Tyler Orewiler of Bucyrus, a recent ONU grad who placed second in Division III nationals with a vault of 17 feet. He is now a med student in Marietta.
